From the New York Times:
As digital electronics have invaded Toyland, putting video projectors and cellphones into the hands of 7- year-olds, companies that cater to preschoolers have deliberately sat on the sidelines, determined to hold up the wall between adult technology and children’s play.
But the wall is about to come crashing down.
At least that is how it will look from the floor of the America International Toy Fair, the industry’s biggest annual trade show in the United States, which begins tomorrow at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.
Fisher-Price, synonymous with Elmo and Power Wheels, will introduce a digital music player and digital camera for children ages 3 and older that will be sold during the 2006 holiday season.
