I can even see a world in which a parent repurposes it to become a programmable panel of buttons to control their home or do other random stuff (less toy, more screenless tablet, as you outline on the site) (which would be hilarious, parent

Traveling through a city on foot, bike and transit is “being treated like cattle”? You prefer sitting in gridlocked traffic in a personal automobile instead, because that’s less like “cattle”? Ok. But decent people have the right to their f
