- Animats 5y agoThe NSA logo used to be surrounded by a cypher wheel like that. That reappeared as NSA's Xmas ornament for 1998.[1] [1] http://www.keiththomsonbooks.com/nsa-ornament http://www.keiththomsonbooks.com/nsa-ornament

- uniqueuid 5y agoA wonderful story from a time when reality and kid's imagination were seemingly much closer than they are now. Does anyone have good examples of similar games for kids that involve interesting, tangible science with real-world implications that are simultaneously a collective thing?
- RRWagner 5y agoWell put. The problem with hyper-stimulating digital gaming imho is that everything else becomes un-interesting. Kids used to be able to get enjoyment from a wide range of simple (and tangible) things, but that list seems to be shrinking.
- throwawayboise 5y agoThey still can, but you have to push them into it. The younger you start, the easier it is, because then they don't know anything different. I think giving them a tablet at age 2 is a mistake. Give them some paper and crayons instead. Have age-appropriate toys that can be reconfigured (duplo, lego, etc.) Get them into outdoor activities, sports, etc. It's up to you the parent to give them alternatives to sitting in front of a screen.
