The next time you pet your car...


My phone's name is Verity Loud. My last phone's name was George. My computer's name is Francis Lenovo. My brother's computer's name is Opal. Our car is named Christina, but we call her variations thereof ( Katrina, Chris, Christy etc). Yep. I live in a family that names their technology. But are we so weird? Why do we give stuffed animals and dolls to children? Why do we own pets?
The answer is simple. The ultimate way to learn is through scenario. Play is a form of scenario. By creating fake people in our lives, we are teaching ourselves social skills and more importantly... how to love.
