I have a 6 year old son, and a lot of times he hardly acknowledges a world outside of Lego's. Sure he likes TVs, computers, video games, and all those other "lame little things" like all kids, but the brightest love being able to create. He's been playing with block style toys since he was three and I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to play with Legos for the rest of his life. BTW, I'm only 24:-)
My friends and I used to use constructs for the same thing. We learned that a cube with wheels was a lot less likely to break apart than a really elaborate "killing machine"
I doubt that this will become very popular. I work for a small ISP and can say that this just wouldn't be financialy feasable. Plus, the weather here sucks eight months out of the year. Another factor that people haven't mentioned is what about a nice wind storm? Or bandwidth on the internet to begin with? DSL is already causing a slight slowdown as it is, this would bring it to its knees if it were to be popular. I'm beginning to think that Lucent is full of crap between the ears (IMHO).
