    That’s a great idea. I hope they also use the opportunity to educate the kids on what NFCs are and, at least in simple terms, how the setup all works.

        I’m not saying show them the code. But there are simple ways you can explain to kids what a NFC chip is and how that NFC chip lets them play the movies they want.

            I loved learning about how computers worked when I was a little kid. My (much) older brother taught me all about how the Apple II worked when I was 6, and within a few months, I knew enough to use it myself. I had important games to play, but I still wanted to know how it all worked.
