The animations mix the simplistic drawings any child might produce with some more complex, professional style, images and a jolly score as it delivers quite a clear message that pretty soon we will all be using these contraptions for everyday practical and enjoyable purposes all over the world. There is a rather optimistic poster inviting “Learn to walk. It’s fun!” but I doubt many would have noticed it.
