Power of Creativity
People might get strongly affected when they heard toy, they might think that it is too childish for an adult to play "toys". Indeed, it is a toy, but not the toy you used to think. This kind of "toy" is designed for a third year old kid that just learned how to talk all the way to a father, or even a grandfather. The reason for this is probably a word called "Creativity". About ten years ago, when you go out and buy a toy, most likely that this toy has a definite instructions on how it can be created. But in Lego, all of the bricks are designed to fit in one of your own creations.
Lego Sets
Lego is designed for almost all purposes from the little fire house with little people moving out and in to real robots that can do amazing task that even humans can't do it. Some lego sets are designed for artistic creations, and some are designed for engineering creations. Most of my lego sets are designed for real machines. For example, the Lego Mindstorms set, you can actually make a program on your computer to make your robots move. The City Set, you can make houses and cars and all kinds of stuffs. There are too many sets in lego, so I am not going to introduce them individually.
