re: "I even think here that LU and NT bit the dust because they were mired in the North American view of how technology should be developed. While the wireless guys not having that 'memory' of a wired centered mindset focused on other possibilities." Interesting and largely true, although I wouldn't yet suggest that LU's going anywhere anytime soon. But to put it a bit differently, I'll borrow a snippet from another discussion, courtesy of poster saraw: Begin snip: "Over the past 40 years, it has been pretty clearly established that play is the single most important 'driver' of a child's cognitive development. Play has no "purpose," and achievement is certainly not the major focus in play--a category from which I exclude board games and computer games, which are typically developed by adults for children. Child's play is invented: it's make believe, it's imaginative, etc. Perhaps Eric Hoffer said it best: *'We are more ready to try the untried when what we do is inconsequential. Hence the fact that many inventions had their birth as toys.'*" --/snip ------
