Siftables: Toy Blocks That Think.

How dare I post a video that does not feature a momtrepreneur?

Please forgive me. This video is too inspiring not to post it.

Watch MIT grad student David Merrill’s live demo of Siftables at the TED 2009 Conference. Siftables are toy blocks that think. As you see them in action, you will be amazed at the technological advancements we’re making for our children–“we” being David and partner Jeevan. The tech blocks are an example of “a new ecosystem of tools for manipulating digital information.”

The last bit of the video is mind-blowing, particularly if you are a live music fan.
