Radio Nurse: Shoddy Goods 019
1What was your most loved (or most hated) baby and kid tech, either from you raising a kid or something you remember growing up?
I remember Speak & Spell seeming just like a super-computer to me. I even had the ET module plug-in. And somehow Merlin, which just seems totally unusable to me now, was basically as cool as a game console.

As a kid, we had a mechanical typewriter. I had no issues with typing tests that came years later in middle school. Also for running out of reading materials, I resorted to atlases and various Thomas Guide map books.
Electronics: one of those Science Fair kits from Radio Shack.
Never got a good enough signal for the AM crystal radio, though.

As a kid, color TV was as fancy as it got. I remember getting my first electric typewriter as I went to college, from KMart I think actually,
From raising a kid? The old Apple ][+
not the ][E
we got a used one for her when she was about 5, used a TV as a monitor. Tubed TV. LOL
never had a game system until she was old enough for like a Sega Genesis. and it was the only one ever. We had (for the time) fancy computers so never went there. Her favorite game was Dungeon Hack.
