Victor Varnado, KSN, and Rachel Teichman, LMSW, kick off their two-part series on the beloved 90s virtual pet, the Tamagotchi. In this first part, they chat about the origins of the toy and its massive cultural impact. The digital pet craze was more than just fun—it also taught kids responsibility in a unique way!
