1. The Tamagotchi Virtual Pets Are Making a Comeback
Here's more proof that EVERYTHING from the '90s that has any shred of nostalgic appeal is going to be resurrected.
Remember the Tamagotchi virtual pets? You might've had one as a kid and, you know, you almost certainly let it die through your laziness. Well now, a whole NEW generation of kids is going to get to kill their virtual animals.
The company that made Tamagotchis is Bandai Namco, and they've brought them back. They'll hit stores all over the country on the 5th of next month.
The design will be a little different the little egg-shaped devices are about 20% smaller than the '90s versions, and there are fewer buttons which makes it easier to take care of your virtual pet. Kids today, man. They have it so easy.
If you want one, they'll cost $14.99.

3. 64% of American Households Now Own at Least One Apple Product
It's amazing that like two decades ago, Apple was all but dead as a company. And now they're EVERYWHERE.
According to a new survey, 64% of households in America now own at least one Apple product, including things like iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and maybe they're even still clinging to an old iPod.
Five years ago, only 50% of households had an Apple product, so that's a pretty big jump.
And most of us don't just have one, the average household has 2.6 Apple products.
The survey also found that 64% of people say the time they spend on their smartphone is, quote, "mostly productive and useful." Really?
