LEGO In the Past and Today

There once were two Bricks...
Do you remember? When I was a kid, there were bricks, a sort of green board to put them on, windows, doors and parts for the roof. And what you did was to build houses, small ones, big ones, but still it was houses.
I liked to play with Lego, because with it I could create things. Our family lived in an apartment, and when I was playing with Lego I was dreaming off building a big house for the whole family,
Unfortunately one of my brothers who's five years older than me, hated it when I played with "his things". He snatched the bricks off me. At least he let me watch him. Only when playing with Lego had become too simple for him he passed his lego bricks over to me.
That was in the 60es of the 20th century. A lot has changed since that time - and Lego did, too.
I am fascinated by the variety of things you can do with Lego today, and I want to show you some of that.
Lego - it is not only the truck, it is a whole world!
Playing Bowls
Lego has created a real world of its own, with people. If anybody would have told me in the 1965 that you could play bowls with Lego, I would have thought it absolutely out of question.
Keep your LEGO city clean!

- Hells yea I did!! I loved Lego. I genuinely wish I had kept mine. I loved the knights and wizards sets, had a load of them. When I have kids they're getting Lego, and I can play again! Really great lens. Thanks a lot for sharing.

- I loved Lego. It offered so many possibilities! It's the one toy that I think is perfect for either girls or boys without being more suited to one than the other. Not that I think toys need to be for one and not the other, but somehow most kids do gravitate to gendered toys regardless.

- We had them--and I know a software engineer who grew up to become a Lego fanatic. His boxes of Lego kits were stacked about 4 feet tall, 3 feet wide and 6 feet long in his garage!
