Yes, it was disseminated, but not by Xerox. It was the startups of the time that took the baton.

Could not agree more. Play is a very underestimated component of productive thought. But what is play? I would say that it is production without responsibility. It is notable that children use play in order to explore their potential and their place in the world. Which is to say, they use it to grow. Need I say more?
