So what can we do about it? Seriously, I've read all of Giz's posts about this issue, but I don't know what to do about it. I have an iPhone. I basically bought it so I could use the apps. If I can't opt out of sharing my privates, what can I do?
It's difficult for me to feel for this woman because it all looks contrived. Few things come across as genuine these days. I'm sure she'll write a book too "A Million Little Faces". Call me a jaded cynic. I think the ballon boy hoax a couple years ago put me over the edge.
I'm 42, I play board games with my sons (Monopoly, Mousetrap, and Yahtzee). They're simple and low tech. A nice departure from our iPads (which they play also). Combining the two is a stupid idea. There's no value to it, unless you're too lazy to count and manage the play money yourself, and keep track of your turn.
As adults, we notice and appreciate the fine details of these sets. But my 7 year old son, well, everything eventually gets assimilated into his Lego collective. No matter how many times I tell him to keep the sets together, don't mix the pieces, it all gets mixed together anyway. I guess that's what makes Legos so great. But it's also why I'm reluctant to buy him these sets.
