toys playing with these toys we imagine
that Bieber doctors who could cure and
diagnose illnesses are perhaps even
scientists who could create robots and
make them do things people could do and
thinks people couldn't do and many other
things but even at an early age we had
an understanding of what science and
technology can do and how we can use
this and harness it to our advantage
some of us went beyond child's play and
let our imagination guide us to new
discoveries we owe a lot to these people
for making the world a better place to
