Google collaborates with Lego to form online Lego game :D


Summary:
Lego blocks :)
Lego, one of the most famous toys of our world. But is it still? With so much technology these days, kids don't play with ordinary toys anymore. A normal "toy" in a kids life today is a device, for example, an iPad/iPod, psp/3 or even mobile phones. With so much technology, it's hard for companies to sell their toys, because kids wont even look at them, they run straight to the electronics. When i was a kid Lego was one of the most interesting things to play with, it was fun because you can make whatever you want. The only problem with is was that you cant keep it, it can break, and if you step on it....well....you'd die :). So basically what Google did was that they collaborated with Lego called "Build with Chrome". With this new idea, you don't have to worry about loosing your work, loosing pieces, and you don't have to worry about stepping on pieces

Major Concepts
1.Since the game is an online based game, it is easy, you can save your work and you have unlimited pieces, you don't have to hunt for pieces to find it, nor do you have to search for the color you want, this one is already assigned.
2. You can easily place pieces when ever you want to, and it makes it easier since you don't need to worry about loosing the pieces or putting it in the right place after demolishing it.
3. It makes it easier for kids since they are constantly on their gadgets, and they don't have to waste money.

Advantages:
1.You don't have to go through the difficult task of rebuilding your work, you can choose the colors you want to build.
2.With this new idea, you don't have to worry about loosing your work, loosing pieces, and you don't have to worry about stepping on pieces.

Disadvantages:
1. It would be  hard because if you try and place a piece on the board you cant see it from all the perspectives, you have to change it every time you add a piece..
2. It takes a very long time to build because you need to keep changing the point of view.




How many of you would spend more than 1 hour building this?
How will it help if it's free...?
