No, not Lincoln logs; no, not barbies; no, not a bike; and definitely no, not you.
[CNET] article "Kids wants iPhones, iPads over toys for holidays" states apple seems to be surpassing any Toys'R'Us product on wish lists this year.
"The iPhone 4, iPod Touch and iPad were the tree most wanted gifts among children aged 5 to 16 according to the Duracell Toy Report."
On the one hand I'm a little sad, I loved getting a new doll every year (I was seriously upset when Santa decided I was too old for dolls).
On the other, what else should I expect? It truly is the technology age. I guess the best we can hope for is that the apps getting downloaded on the tots' new toys are educational and interactive. Ha.
I remember wanting more and more technology related gifts for Christmas as I got older, but I always attributed it to age. I guess it was more of the times we are living in. I can't imagine a young boy's Christmas without Nerf Guns, Slip-N-Slides, laser tag kits and the like, but I guess you're right the technology age has arrived. Also I hear AG hats are a hot item this year.
