Andre Cassagnes, Creator Of The Etch A Sketch, Dead At 86
What Andre Cassagnes thought of today's beeping and whirring playrooms we don't know. We do know that the former electrician, born on September 23, 1926, created his iconic toy after noticing how graphite clung to a thin film of plastic while he was marking up a light switch decal. He tinkered with the idea for a while and created the L'Ecran Magique in 1959. Ohio Art licensed his idea in 1960 and the red-framed device was born.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/5fzo15FJm78/
