Toys and Apps Are Yet to Play Nice Together

     This article is about how the toy industry is taking best seller games and creating tablet versions of the games.  This development was not a success.  Toy companies are not giving up on this concept and are continuing to try to merge the two together.  Traditional toys have lost market share; whereas,  tablets and educational videogames are becoming the top sellers.  This change could be happening because toy companies are not coming up with innovative toys.
     Kids need to be kids for as long as they can.  The world today is making kids grow up too fast!  Toys are meant for kids and the toy companies need to remember this and start upping their development.  I understand tablets and technology are all the craze now but kids need REAL toys.  Toys that are used while sitting on the living room floor and their imagination is running at full force.  I agree with educational electronical games but I don't think they can be put into the same group as traditional toys.  They are in two different categories and serve two different purposes.
