Take a Playstation 3.
Give it some software that allows the user to create a persistent world that functions according to some basic physical principles.
Let them build whatever they want.
Watch them build a fully functional mechanical calculator.
Wait for it to switch to design mode, and pan up.
And be impressed.
Damn nerds!
