Knighthood and Toys

The funny news of the morning is the announcement that Bill Gates will receive honorary knighthood from Britain's Queen Elizabeth for his "outstanding contribution to enterprise." I think his being the richest man in the world might also help him out. This news is so silly to me that I had to include it in an entry about the latest tech toys for tweens.

It's a growing trend to have toys that look and act like cell phones. Hasbro, the number one toy maker, has lead the charge with everything from the "Cheerios Snacking Cell Phone," for really young ones to the chatnow two way radio for tweens. My first reaction is to be disgusted; do we really need to encourage cell phone addiction to children? But then I remember Powerwheels from my childhood and I figure everything is the same as it always has been.
