When I was younger, I wasn't really into the video game thing. My mom thought that if she had gotten me a Nintendo 64 I would just sit around my house all day and play that. As I think about it now, I am really glad i never had one. If I had one, I don't think that I would have been as good at soccer as I am now. While all my friends were inside playing on their gaming systems, me and my sister would be outside juggling the ball and trying to basically prove that we were better than each other.
One bit of fun technology I had was the "Tamagachi". They were those little virtual pets on a keychain that you had to take care of. I loved mine. I kept it on my backpack and it gave me so much enjoyment while I would be bored in school. The only thing is, for some reason, i would lose it for 3 day periods of time, mostly on the weekend, and the thing would die. Then you would have to reset it and start all over.
Another big thing when i was younger was those damn furbys. Ugh. When i first got mine I loved it. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. However, after like the first week, you could never get the stupid thing to shut up. I can recall one time, I even chucked mine against a wall and it was still alive. As i think about it, what were the furbys even good for. The only thing they did was talk about how pretty you were. Which is funny because even if you looked like hell, they would still think you looked awesome.
OOh. Baby G watches were big in my time too. I had a green one and my best friend Ashley had a pink one. They were these huge chunky watched that almost every girl had to have. There was this little man on the watch that if you pressed a certain button, he would run across the screen and fall down. I always thought that that was hilarious. Today, I don't think I would ever be caught dead in one of those watches, unless i was going to an 80's or 90's party. :)

My mom wouldn't let me get a Nintendo, either. I thought it made me an outcast, but it turned out to not be a big deal at all.
I had a Tamagachi, too. I got it taken away at school,though, because I was playing with it in class. So lets hope you and your classmates learn a lesson from my mistakes and put your technological devices away when class begins!
