Take ANOTHER look at modern lego kids... I think you will find that they CAN be re-purposed. Yes some of the big moulded pieces are single purpose, but a castle wall can turn into a tower wall can turn into a alien cliff face can .... You g

I'm not saying this is the case, but I think maybe the difficulty the tech crowd has with these new "easy" interfaces is exactly that, they are easy. If everybody can easily use a computer (tablet, phone etc), never looses their files, neve

No, it's not that we're not twelve any more, its that it is not 1977. The world is no longer a place of good verses bad. We no longer face the "Evil Empire" with the threat that we would all be snuffed out if one of our leaders blinked. The
