Learning makes little sense. For a boy or a girl, learning is quite a separate experience from playing. Learning is an experience that forces students to be restrained, strained, and grave. Textbooks, exercises, and exams are all part of the learning process. It is a bleak world; on the contrary, play is enjoyable, exciting, and stimulating; it is fantastic while also being involved. So the modern method of teaching tries to combine the two, and as a result, learning becomes another game, a play. It makes learning as enjoyable as playing.

Man has always sought assistance with menial tasks. One such is in computation, where a Chinese merchant using an abacus or a merchant using a cash register are all using computational aids. Today, the computer has taken over as the main computational aid, but a computer is much more than that. Today's computer, a far cry from Charles Babbage’s analytical engine, does practically all mathematical computations and takes decisions, whether it be in launching a man to the moon or in assisting the scientist in his laboratory in breaking the genetic code.

The computer as we know it today is making the second industrial revolution take place. The effect of computers on our society is phenomenal. The development of computers is so rapid that the computer will be an inevitable tool for the management executive, the scientist, the teacher, etc.; the list is never complete. We will also see a new generation that takes computers for granted because it learned about the binary system in elementary school and boolean algebra in high school. As such, there is an immense need for this coming generation of educational aids and toys for the kids of the next generation that teach the principles of computer.
