Yes, evolution is good.
What we are faced with is extinction. How many Meccano fans do you know who
are in their early 20's? The reason for this is that the company failed to
market effectively to both their adult fans while at the same time trying to
build a new fan base. The result. They lost both markets. Today, the only
folks who build with Meccano are the ones who were exposed to it back when
black and white TV was a rarity in many homes.
