Are you or have you ever been a child at any point in your life? I hope so. Assuming you were, have you ever played with toys? Unless you're Egon Spengler, that's probably the case. Have you ever thought that the toys you play with or play with might be psychologically damaging your mind? Particularly modern toys with sophisticated technology integrated into the object.
