How will toys be made 5-10-20-30-50-xxx years from now?
What do you all see in the future of toy collecting?
Will the electronic and hi-tech age eventually place plastic toys to the side? Does Apple and other companies have strategies moving forward to ensure that children young enough to play with toys will instead have Ipads and tablets in their hands as opposed to action figures?
Barbies have been very similar throughout the years while toys like GI Joe's and Transformers have evolved into excellent toys. How much better will they be in the same amount of time that has passed from the "vintage" 80's Joes and TF's to now?
Will they be mini versions of hot toys 10-25 years from now or will there not be much advancement in those lines?
I've thought about this for a while and think its an interesting topic that could be discussed with various viewpoints.
Thoughts?
