If kids can't even have Lego we are truly lost. For many kids, their love of science and technology stemmed from playing with Lego. You are likely benefiting now from some of those things now. I am so tired of this anti-human, simplistic, single variable optimization that so many seem to subscribe to.

If Newton and Einstein hadn't played with legos, we would probably not even be having this discussion!

that being said, I did enjoy my legos

[osigurdson]

Are you seriously implying that I think Lego is universally responsible for all science and technology?

[pyrale]

Nah, I'm just implying that you're overreacting, and connecting two unrelated things because of that.

What would be required in your view to establish a connection between Lego and STEM fields? Similarly, what is required to prove that there is no connection?
