<div class="gmail_quote">Max, I got a big laugh out of the items on the list. Cracked.com is a great place to go for a fun diversion. But actually, I think toys are worthy of study by transhumanists, especially because the more upscale items are fairly impressive uses of technology & at least sometimes educational. And as time passes, toys will be utterly transformed by the coming great advances in artificial intelligence and nanotech. The era of "a young ladies illustrated primer" and "small soldiers" will be upon us.</div>
