Even if LEGO isn't directly improving the technology of the feature, I do believe that, as a result of LEGO, the technology of the feature will be improved. Think for a moment and realize that when children build with LEGO bricks, they aren't just building cool models; they are building a future in engineering. More than 3/4 of the teens in my robotics club have had a past filled with LEGO, and most of them contribute their desire to build from LEGO. With everything LEGO Education now has to enhance play experience and learning, I feel that there will be an even greater percentage of kids interested in technology, and they will grow up and be engineers and as a result improve technology.
