Ep.8 Tamagotchi

The History of Tamagotchi
In the late 1990s, millions of kids became proud digital pet parents, and millions of teachers quietly lost their minds. Tamagotchi, the tiny beeping keychain companions from Japan, weren’t just toys, they were a crash course in responsibility, obsession, and the heartbreak of pixelated death. In this episode, we dig into where the idea came from, why it spread like wildfire across the globe, and how something so simple managed to define a generation. From their quirky origins to their surprising legacy, we’ll explore the strange and surprisingly emotional world of virtual pets.
