I think what you are calling toys are what I would call addictions. They can get innovative with finding ways to access those addictions, but really they just want that mind numbing, repetative flashing lights and noises. Anything to shut down and avoid thinking, like a bunch of zombies.

Sorry. That's just the rant of a 7th grade teacher.

Well yeah that happens too, but they also use things in ways you'd never expect, mainly with the goal of being fun.
