"As I watch this, my growing up years around my dad was just like this. I was free to mess around in the barn and garage with all the tools and magic materials. In a age without TV and only outside entertainment & making things to play with or imagine with was a delight. I remember having a gear out of a old transmission, that to me was the greatest toy. It would make tracks in the dirt like a caterpillar tractor. Hours would go by building a tree house all by ourselves. Now 69 years later, I still, subconsciously, rely on earlier experiences in life. My Dad gave me a gift (although unstructured) the "curiousness" of life and things around me.
Today kids and adults play with toys they have no idea how they were made or how they work. The colored screen just shows the end objective or the toy, to entertain. Has life been reduced to just plug it in and we are in business? I guess it has. ..."
