The video demonstrating the project is quite impressive check it out."

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

ENIAC was patented six years before I was born, so I was 12 before I saw a real computer at a tech expo and 30 before I owned a computer, but when I was that kid's age I was taking clocks and transistor radios apart to try to figure out how they worked. I learned from taking clocks apart even though I could never get them back together again, and I learned from taking radios apart that you can't figure out how a radio works by examining it, I had to read books to learn that.
The most important thing a parent can do for their kid is instill a love of learning and a love of reading to him or her.
