Here’s a brief yet interesting video excerpt where TV icon Mr. Rogers meets with electronic musician/composer Bruce Haack and becomes captivated by a photo-sensitive synth-box. Fred Rogers displays that child-like fascination very well – a feeling many of us still experience while creating interactive devices today.

That may be the most awesome thing ever… I can stop looking at the Internet now.
In case anyone wonders about the subtitles: The clip is from a Swedish tv-show. ;D
Oh, he was a bender all right.
This is Bruce Haack. He really could be one of the first circuit-benders. He also built his own instruments.
Don’t miss the Bruce Haack documentary-
