So I gave my brother a circuit board pen for Christmas. He asked a bunch of questions about how it was made, then set it on the table as he opened other gifts. A few minutes later my nephew (17) saw the pen and picked it up. As he was looking at the circuit board inside he looked at by brother and totally seriously he asked "What does it do"? My brother looked at him and again in total seriousness, said "it writes".
The whole room erupted in laughter, and my nephew looked around with a look of "what did I say"? It is amazing that the current generation of youth assumes that everything has some incredible technological function. Nothing can exist solely for the purpose of asthetics. This was especially true when he saw the evidence of the electronics in the pen. Oh well, it made for a good laugh from everyone in the room.
