In case you missed it, Google changed the logo on its homepage to look like a LES PAUL guitar, in honor of Les Paul's birthday.  And you could actually use your mouse to strum the guitar and record songs. It was awesome. People loved it so much that according to a technology consulting company, it cost the world $268 MILLION in lost productivity. WOW!

You remember sliding down rusty slides into piles of fiberglass and asbestos. Now they're all plastic, and there's no rusty metal or splintering wood. 

Here's an interesting theory from an early childhood specialist in Melbourne from News.com.au, Australia named Prue Walsh.  She thinks that by making playground equipment SO safe . . . it's actually MORE dangerous for kids in the long run.
