Now that the price of technology has become so much more affordable, several toys now incorporate sophisticated electronics and computing systems. A few weeks ago, I ran across this demonstration. While it is not cheap or marketable yet, there are a number of very cool, fun, practical, and educational uses for these "Siftables"
The interaction with the blocks is extremely simple, even if only a few instructions are used. Little kids were able to use the blocks for simple learning games and adults (with a little more practice) could become proficient at the sound mixing. The word matching is entirely intuitive and registers with our natural inclinations immediately.
