I forgot Legos come from Denmark. My son and nephew all by themselves must be responsible for 10% of that increase all by themselves. The next time I step on a stray Lego I will think of it as injured in the line of fighting Mulsim extremists.
Legos also has a very interesting product line called Mindstorms, which allows kids of all ages to experiment with robotics. For those who want to be sure their kids "learn about technology," there is more to be learned by messing around with Mindstorms than by pecking away at a conventional computer.
David, thanks for the tip. I just checked it out and it is very cool! It's not a cheap hobby though. My son will love this once he gets a bit older. Have you put one of these together yet?
