Children join the smart watch revolution before parents

It’s clear that people are slowly drifting away from the traditional way of doing things. Toy manufacturers are no exception and they are now looking for ways to revolutionise playtime and kids’ toys.

 

Vtech has joined this growing trend with the launch of a smart watch for five year olds.

 

Similar to a smartphone, this ‘smart watch’ has a built in camera, voice recorder and it can even be connected to a computer at home to download images.

 

Vtech’s Charlotte Johnson said: “We know that firms like Samsung and Sony have already created smart watches for adults, but we want children to be able play their part in the development of this technology.”

 

She even said that the watches are strong enough to withstand being bashed around the place – not an ideal way to wear a watch, but we should always expect the unexpected with kids.

 

It is without a doubt that kids today have more resources than their parents did at their age. With more and more children drifting towards technology, it was only a matter of time until a product like this hit the shelves.
