“Matopy” by Sam Jewell received a Honorary Mention in the The Next Idea category of the Prix Ars Electronica 2012.
_Matopy_ is changing the world by revolutionizing the way we interact with the web. As babies we are listening all the time, and most people can speak by the age of three, but we only become competent at reading and writing when we reach seven or eight.
