Future hopes for the Rubik’s Cube
Spin your way to smarter thinking!
The Rubik’s Cube has fascinated hundreds of millions worldwide and is the best-selling toy of all time. Despite its popularity, one unexpected fact remains: Rubik’s Cube tutorials—particularly in book form—are still hard to find in local street stalls.
During the 1980s, Cubes were found in most large retail outlets, but nowadays it may be hard to find one on a shop shelf unless you go to large retailers such as Argos. Similarly, despite what one would expect, Rubik’s Cube clubs are still relatively scarce; however, this is starting to change with the establishment of Rubik’s Cube community groups and Internet forums.
A New Wave of Rubik’s Cube Innovation
The next generation of Rubik’s Cube enthusiasts is not relying solely on physical stores or printed books. Instead, we’re seeing a surge in digital resources—YouTube tutorials, interactive websites, and Cube blogs are rapidly becoming the go-to platforms for learners and speedcubers alike.
Thousands of Rubik’s Cube tutorial videos are being posted annually. This indicates not only the increasing enthusiasm for the Cube but also the change in the way people would like to learn—graphically, engagingly, and through the internet. Websites and video sites are pioneering a new way of learning, attracting individuals from all age groups and learning levels.
The Role of Online Platforms and Books
Though tutorial books are absent in street shops, services like Amazon have come to the rescue. There are several dozen Rubik’s Cube tutorial books available in print and Kindle versions online. Several authors, including me, have released tutorials through Amazon’s CreateSpace and Kindle services, and one can now easily acquire good-quality learning material.
Competition is intensifying on sites such as Amazon, where each writer is attempting to have their book appear on page one. Yet the greater competition is, in the end, a good thing—it results in higher quality material for students and an enriched knowledge base for the Cube community.
The Evolution of Rubik’s Cube Culture
We are seeing the transformation of the Rubik’s Cube from a mere puzzle toy to an international craze fueled by technology and connectedness. Rubik’s Cube technology has followed suit, with intelligent cubes connected to apps, virtual cube solvers, and algorithm trainers making the user experience unlike ever before.
On top of that, the growth of online Rubik’s Cube forums, **virtual clubs**, and community-led fan groups has opened up millions of avenues for cube enthusiasts to socialise, learn, and develop with one another. These online forums are brimming with useful tips, inspiring tales, and mutual devotion.
The Future of the Rubik’s Cube Is Bright
The future of Rubik’s Cube is not only in puzzles themselves, but in the imagination of those who work with them. The growth of Rubik’s Cube innovation—from interactive solution aids to artificial intelligence trainers—is unlocking doors to new opportunities. There will be more. Outdoor clubs, shared events, online challenges, and expanded solving experiences with technology.
And as more tutorials, videos, books, and blogs keep on coming, students all over the world will have even more tools to hone their skills. And with every new member who joins this worldwide phenomenon, the Cube keeps growing.
