Lego has announced the Smart Brick, a tiny computer that fits entirely inside a classic 2x4 Lego brick. The Smart Brick is a significant evolution in the company's history, marking a new era in interactive play.

The Smart Brick is a sensor-packed brick that will be available as part of a special Star Wars collection this spring. It will add interactive lights and sound to the Lego experience, including the minifigs.

The Smart Brick will be able to detect NFC-equipped smart tags nearby, embedded inside new Lego tiles and new Lego minifigures, or when it sees other Smart Bricks. This will enable new forms of play and creativity for Lego fans.

The Smart Brick is a major innovation in the world of Lego, and it's exciting to see where this technology will take the company in the future.
