It's a good way for a young person to learn all aspects of robotics and from there can build and innovate.

Last year I went to a Lego Children's Fest with one of the grandsons.
Why didn't they have that stuff when I was a kid?

When my wife asked me if I didn't have a childhood for wanting to buy the lego mindstorm, I replied "I had a great childhood, but it didn't have robots in it"

Yes, my childhood was fine, but we're never too old for neat toys!

A few people may have read up upon Phonebloks, the idea of adding the components you want to create a phone you desire. A lot of people would of also said, its never going to happen. Well Phonebloks finally have financial backing from none other than our future overlords, Google (Motorola).
Good idea or publicity stunt?

I'm pretty sure Nagy linked to the Phonebloks kickstarter funding a couple of weeks ago.

I am pretty sure Rage did the same this week.
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluebeat,
And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.

A thread on Phonebloks was posted last week, it seemed like an excellent idea. I never thought someone would pick it up...

I'm thinking of opening a shop called Pi.
I haven't decided what to sell, but it will be open 22/7.

If you sell everything for $2.99 + 5% tax, it would come out to $3.14. You could be the Pi Dollar Store.

“Two decades earlier, an IBM computer often cost as much as $9 million and required an air-conditioned quarter-acre of space and a staff of 60 people to keep it fully loaded with instructions,” according to a history on the company’s website. “The new IBM PC could not only process information faster than those earlier machines, but it could hook up to the home TV set, play games, process text and harbor more words than a fat cookbook.” [^]
Where would we be today if the IBM PC had not come along, or if IBM had cut a deal with Digital Research (Gary Kildall & Co.), and CP/M was the dominant "other" OS, besieged by Android and IOS, and Linux ?
