Opportunity for Advancement

When I was a kid, my family would sometimes play the Atari.  The picture above is from the Atari game Pac-Man.  The graphics were only 2-D and the sounds weren't the full orchestra soundtracks you find on games today.  Over the years it has been fun to watch how games have improved.  Now they have virtual reality headsets you can wear that make you feel like you are actually in the game.

Toys have also improved over the years.  Everyone can now build their own working robots.  LEGO has different robot packs you can buy called MINDSTORMS.  People are able to program the robots and use a phone/tablet app to control them. Amazon has a STEM club; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math toys. With the Amazon STEM club, you join a subscription for once a month, every other month, or every three month and they will send you an age appropriate STEM toy at that frequency (cancel at anytime).

Another "toy" people are using: drones. People are able to fly drones around the sky and take videos and pictures from new perspectives:


Did you see the show they did with drones at the Olympics? Check out the picture below!
There are so many things we can do with new technology!

  1. Hi April,
    I am a life long player with toys. Love them. The only problem I have with them is that as I have gotten older they have become more expensive. I have to be careful now not to spend to much money on them. I have my eye on a new one called a Polaris Razor. Great blog. Fantastic visuals and creativity. Thank you, Steve
