Top Tech Toys 2007
The center's favorite picks for "Top Tech Toys" for 2007 This list was developed by the center's MBA Fellows under the direction of center director M. Eric Johnson, who follows the toy industry. The toy selections cover all ages, from infant to adult. In describing the list, Tuck second-year student Shilpa Karnik said, "We picked what we thought were the best new tech toys for various age groups based on the use of the technology and the play value." * On November 15, the project leaders will demonstrate the toys at the Tuck School as well as collect toy donations for Toys for Tots. |
