(One thing that I thought was cool and interesting was that if you look closely at the on/off switch in this picture, you can see that the circuit board is still functional while it is supposed to be turned off)
Buy constructive items like this for your offspring.
That is pretty cool. I know my brother would have loved this as a kid. He was always getting into stuff trying to open it up and play with it. He actually fixed my dad's radio when he was 11 years old. Got into computers at the age of 8 as well. Now he builds them.
My dad was a great teacher. When he started taking things apart, he didn't punish him for it, he encouraged it. A lot of parents will get mad when they see their kids trying to figure out how things work cause in their minds they are being destructive. I will admit I was pretty mad when he broke my new phone but my dad did get me a new one. It was the first phone I had, barely had it 2 months and he cracked it open lol
