    $16.7bn global smart-toy market

    HOLY FUCK, I always though that the toy market was cheaper, since I mean, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOYS, I didn’t even know that SO many people still pay for toys.

        I have a kid but he’s at the stage where the greatest level of entertainment can be derived by sticking things up his nose.

        I won’t get him smart anything as a toy.

        Anyone who works in IT wouldn’t want that, like most cyber security professionals everything in my house is either analogue (door locks, fire alarm) or not internet connected, I have a smart TV but it’s not connected to the internet and if I want to watch Netflix I just hook it up to the PS5 which basically is a media streaming service.
