Do You Remember...? Tamagotchi

Isn't it amazing how incredibly bored we must have been as kids to be amazed and obsessed with something like the Tamagotchi? The Tamagotchi was a small handheld electronic device which involved taking care of an "electronic pet!" ??? Have you seen a Playstation 3 or an X-Box 360? Kids these days are shooting up Nazis in World War 2 games, with incredible bloody graphics, and we were obsessed with cleaning electronic poop off of a tiny black and white screen! We would wake up in the middle of the night because we heard our Tamogotchi beeping and it was time to take it out a play catch with it! What were we thinking?

One controversy over Tamagotchi digital pets involved children taking them to school because certain Tamagotchi versions could starve or die in less than half a day from lack of care. Worry over potential ownership disputes, class disruptions, and general distraction from schoolwork has led many schools to ban the product. Wow, alot has changed since we were kids.
