We’re starting to get lazy when it comes to encouraging the youth of our society to go out and play instead of hiding in a dark basement playing video games. To get them up and about, I suggest the Animate video game player. The Animate features a camera, a MP3 player, a watch band, a communication feature and video games.
The Animate device is a wrist-worn gadget that makes any child look like a technological connoisseur. It will surely have the young ones tearing up and down the neighborhood in no time.
