It's so much more fun
...if you have a Winky Dink Kit!
I was such a deprived child growing up in the ’50s. My parents wouldn't buy me the damn Magic Crayons to draw on the damn Magic Window that I desperately wanted to stick onto the screen of the family TV.
I really, really wanted to draw ladders to help Winky Dink escape from trouble. I tried to improvise with a piece of Saran Wrap and a grease pencil, but it wasn't a very satisfying experience.
Maybe my frustration as a kid, being kept from enjoying the first interactive TV show, led me to my later interest in interactive media. Don't laugh, stranger things have happened.

Fast-forward to 2011
No need for Magic Crayons anymore. The Magic Window is this thing we call the Internet.
