The reason for this project comes from my childhood, that is clear to me. I did not have any toys. So, I played in the bricks of ruined buildings around me and with which I built houses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My explorations of the technical world started with Legos, with which I was quite creative in constructing moving objects with the basic building blocks that were then available.
Imagination and invention go hand in hand. Remember how lack of resources was never a problem in childhood games? Shift a few pieces of furniture around the living room, and you have yourself a fort.
Growing up, I didn't have a lot of toys, and personal entertainment depended on individual ingenuity and imagination - think up a story and go live it for an afternoon.
I learned at an early age that I could make the things that I wanted. That's a very powerful thing to realize as a kid. LEGOs were a key part of that.
We didn't have money for toys, so I made my own.
I've made a bit of a career taking daunting projects out of Lego. I've done things like a dinosaur skeleton and stuff like that.
I don't remember not playing games. I think my pre-industry experience is me building LEGO houses and wishing people would go through them.
I never played with anything like toys.
Toys are put on this Earth to be played with by a child.
As a child, I spent a lot of time with things like Lego, building trains, cars, complex structures, and I really liked that.
