Past and Future Turtles: The Evolution of the Logo Programming Language (Part 1)

Past and Future Turtles: The Evolution of the Logo Programming Language (Part 1)
When I was a young child, one of my best friends was a turtle.
Not a real turtle, although that would have been fun, but a virtual one. My turtle lived inside of an Apple II, an early 8-bit computer, at my elementary school.
When I first met her, my turtle, she didn’t do much. She just sat there. It didn’t take long for me to realize that in order to get her to do something, I would need to prompt her. To do this, there was a literal prompt on the screen, beckoning me to type something.
