LEGO’s ‘Smart Brick’ Gives Its Plastic Bricks the Power to See, Hear and Feel

I'm so over this new Smart Brick from LEGO... it sounds like they're trying too hard to make their toys high-tech. Newsflash: playtime is about creativity and imagination, not some fancy chip in a brick. And what's up with the sound synthesis? Kids will just get tired of hearing the same old sounds over and over again . Not to mention, it's basically a marketing gimmick to get parents to buy more stuff... I mean, who needs that many SMART tags and minifigures?! Can't they just stick with what works?

I'm so stoked about this new tech . I mean, who wouldn't want their LEGO bricks to come alive? It's like something out of a sci-fi movie! But seriously, how does it work? Is it like a tiny computer chip or is there more to it? And what's the deal with all these SMART tags and minifigures? Do they have some kind of special connection to the Smart Brick?

I'm also wondering if this tech can be used for other types of toys. Like, imagine if your teddy bear could talk back to you! It sounds like it could be a game-changer for kids' entertainment. But at the same time, I don't want my kid's playtime to be too reliant on technology. What do you guys think? Should we be embracing this kind of tech or are there downsides?

And can we get some info on how expensive these Smart Bricks and SMART tags are going to be? My little brother loves LEGO, but I'm not sure if he'd be able to afford one with all the extras. What do you think, LEGO fans? Are you excited about this new innovation or do you have some concerns?

This Smart Brick is going to be a GAME CHANGER for kids (and let's be honest, adults too)!!! I mean, can you imagine having a toy that's not just fun, but also interactive and smart? It's like having your own little assistant that brings the toys to life! The fact that it responds to its environment and changes behaviors based on proximity is just mind-blowing. And the demo at CES sounded amazing - I love how it lights up in sync with the colors around it, blurring reality and fantasy. This is not just a toy, it's an experience! What I'm excited about is how this innovation can help kids develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and critical thinking while having fun. It's like LEGO has taken playtime to a whole new level!

I'm so stoked about the Smart Brick ! It's crazy how LEGO has managed to pack so much tech into this small brick. I mean, who would've thought that something as simple as a toy could be turned into a mini-computer? The idea of it recognizing distance and motion is mind-blowing - like, have you ever seen a LEGO brick just chillin' on its own and responding to its surroundings? It's like having your very own little robot buddy.

I think what I love most about the Smart Brick is how it brings playtime back to life. The way it can interpret emotions and react accordingly is just genius - it's like LEGO has created a whole new world of interactive storytelling. And with the SMART tags and minifigures, the possibilities are endless! It's exciting to think about what kind of creations kids (and let's be real, adults too ) will come up with using this technology.

One thing that does worry me is how expensive this tech might make the Smart Brick. I mean, it's not cheap, and only time will tell if it'll be worth the investment. But overall, LEGO has done an incredible job revolutionizing the world of toys - here's to many more exciting innovations from them!
