Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for September 14, 2018

Young man: I thought you could only sketch on stone when you were young.

Actually, in general the output from pda’s is not that much different in either lasting value or inventiveness than from Etch-A-Sketch.

I remember “coloring” my Etch a Sketch screen so that none of the silver was left. I wanted too see what it looked like inside. I remember that the tool that draws looked just like a Hershey’s Kiss.

State of the Art technology for its time!

I can’t remember being his age.

Some people still do. It’s amazing what they come up with. Google “etch a sketch art”.

When I was a kid my mother put my Etch-A-Sketch on top of our toaster oven when I was eating. It melted. I still ‘guilt’ her about it 50 some odd years later.

When you were his age you sat in front of a TV for 5 or 6 hours a day.

Grandpa still enjoys Lite-Brite.

garbage in, garbage out

An etch a sketch would be far more engaging mentally, though

I used to like my Etch-A-Sketch until it started leaking aluminium powder everywhere.
