Some stuff about a new hasbro game with wireless builtin. Your 'pox'
attacks the 'pox' of any other unit within 30 feet. Reminds me a bit
of the old old old game where programs battled in "core" memory.
Anyway, I love this quote:
Child psychologist Diane Levin of Wheelock College in Boston said such
products can be harmful. "The toy industry is getting better at
concealing the fact that they're selling violence to children," Levin
said.
To be fair, though, the last quote is a different child psychologist
saying the exact opposite. :-)
Frankly, I don't think it'll teach children anything about violence
or their environment. Maybe how to use their brains. That'd be
different for child's entertainment.
