Tamagotchi
Pocket virtual creature
Tamagotchi is a handheld digital pet that originated in Japan in the 1990s, housed in a small egg-shaped device with a simple screen and buttons.
Users must feed, clean up after, and entertain their virtual creature to keep it alive and happy; neglect leads to the pet's death.
The toy became a global phenomenon and sparked widespread debate about children's attachment to electronic devices.
My Tamagotchi died because I forgot to feed it over the weekend.
