They trace toys from tether balls and wooden blocks to plastic and computerized models, noting shifts in materials, skills, and societal values. They argue toys reflect thrift, work, and the move to mass production, while predicting fewer traditional dexterity toys and growing digitized play.

Supportive design ideals from interior designer Jack Lowery
New York designer Jack Lowery, head of the Iran Society of Interior Designers, says a room should support the occupant and feel right. He favors warm colors, incandescent lighting, a large work table, and a dining table that doubles as a library desk. He collects lamps, favors natural fibers, and loves a sound wired home with diverse folk crafts from India and Mexico.
