The end of an era has arrived.

I have not understood for very long (measured in 21st-century speed, so for about 2 months delay) why a fidget spinner is such a big deal.

Since then I got my own, one with high-quality bearing, and my life has transformed. Playing with physics is indeed the best thing a child can do. There is literally no way she will not get interested in the why’s and how’s that drive this simple tool to spin "infinitely". Physics can and is mesmerising if sold well and the spinner is just a lucky toy that went viral to the hands of the youth.

Quite frankly playing with a spinner is a much better alternative to Tamagotchi or smartphone games. As someone who majored in Physics I grew up playing with weights and levers building tools that prove one or the other law's of physics, but I was considered a nerd. These guys can finally have the ability to play with the law's of nature without being stigmatised :D

For those who do not know the spinner was around since 1993 but only gain attention in 2o17. But I had enough for now. I can go back any time as I know the code for the lock, but it would make the process of picking and spinning more than 1second so it is less likely to keep me mesmerised.
