Santa Claus In Need Of A Digital Upgrade
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
The gift giving season has arrived, but this year Santa
needs a digital update for generation tech.
"That's a big part of what we're doing as a company
driving technology," said David Humpl, store manager for Toys R Us.
Toys R Us clued us in on some of their hottest items for
tweens.. which look a lot more like gadgets than toys.
Toys R Us is now selling computers that they consider kid
friendly. The Asus Eee laptop is perfect for little hands because it only
weighs two pounds. This computer won't put a hole in your wallet, because it
only costs between $269 and $299 dollars.
Has your child always wanted a scooter? The iMod from
Razor might get a wow out of your little techy this holiday. It's an update
from your usual ride, with an FM radio and speakers that even connect to your
iPod..
There are other toys that seem a little more like a gadget
for the special forces. The Eyeclops Night Vision Goggles let you see in the
dark using infrared. They cost $69.99... but watch out mom and dad.. that means
your kids can get into all sorts of trouble while your fast asleep!
In 2008, cuddly is out.. and robotic is in. The hottest
pet robot is Wall-E, made famous in the movie. He comes remote controlled at
59.99. Your child can even make him sing and dance.
If your child wants to do the dancing himself, the U-Dance
gaming system from Hasbro might be the perfect present. The electronic sensors
that are placed on their hands and feet allow for free movement, which is
reflected on the television screen. Endless hours of moving and groving for
$59.99.
