Japan took a trip down memory lane as Bandai rereleased the '90s cult classic electronic toy Tamagotchi to mark 20 years since its original release in Tokyo on Thursday. The tiny keychain toy started off as virtual eggs that required players to hatch and nurture their very own little creature. The toy spawned its share of competitor knock-offs, like the Gigapet, before fading into the memories of those who grew up with them. Have you ever played with a Tamagotchi?
The world's oldest automated teller machine, or ATM, was coated in gold to celebrate 50 years since its introduction in London on Tuesday. Red carpet and stanchions were also placed in front of the machine. Before the introduction of the first ATM on June 27, 1967, outside a Barclay's Bank depository in Enfield, north London, people were forced to wait in line at the bank to withdraw cash. The ATM was surely a major technological advancement at the time and greatly improved economic conditions.
