Here is another Genious idea for the web. This kinda reminds me of Beanie Babys, only alot more fun. Here’s the gist of it.
You go to the store and buy a Webkinz stuffed animal and then you give it to a friend. They take it home and use the addoption tag it came with to register / adopt it on Webkinz.com. You put in some very basic info (nothing personal, not even an email) and your off.
It’s built for kids and its just a giant playroom full of silly games and things to do with your webkinz pet. It’s alot like a learning center of sorts. Yes, there are some stupid part to it and some consumer parts to it aswell, but what a great concept of intorducing kids to the internet.
Here is my diclaimer. I do realize this could be bad, theres probably a scandle in there somewhere. Although, I am a huge backer of introducing our younger generations to current technology in a way they can enjoy it.
Just imagine if your generation was more properly introduced to the newest technology at the time. Remember MathBlaster, Oregon Trail and Where in the world is Carmen San Diego. If technology presents itself with a purpose its bound to grow.
