Recently in our area, we found a toy store that specializes in creative toys. It has been refreshing to buy these for our kids. We were getting tired of what the department stores had to offer. Those Lego toys with motors sound cool, but they are probably expensive.

I agree with Larry.

I used Lego as a child on a daily basis, i believe it helped me to become the person i am today. It sounds strange, but i really believe this.

Computers are also great for expressing each of our personalities and being more social. Long live computers.

Yeah…definitely post that webcast link once you have it. It really is amazing how computers have revolutionized our society. I think we’re likely just touching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential of computers in our society.

I was in a restaurant the other day and a family of five with children from two to eight were interacting with some game on the computer. What was so interesting to me was the baby of the group was just as interested and active in the game as the rest of the family. I think the trick is to introduce kids to different things when they are very young and then to let them run with the things that really turn them on.

Toys can stimulate thinking and Lego are the best examples of toys that increase the mental capacity of a child. That’s why my kids have lego as early as 3 years old but I make sure that they are doing it right since they are still kids.

Regarding

“In his mind, computers are not just about information, but they’re really about a new medium to let us express ourselves and communicate with one another. ”

Definitely agree with this. On the negative note though, computers narrow humans’ real social interaction as it steals the time for person-to-person contact.

I couldn’t agree more about kids being able to do exceptional things, and thereby learning a great deal being self-motivated. Education is an attempt for a one-size-fits-all approach to learning which alienates many kids. Unfortunately for them, our society is based largely on education success as measured by the educational system. Sure, there are exceptions, but it’s disheartening for kids when they don’t excel in the system, which really knocks down their confidence to try and do amazing things such as the examples you set out in your post.

I like your view that computers are really a means to communicate and express. I agree, and that makes them very powerfully creative tools.
