Somewhere in time, a bunch of children marched for twenty years through nail biting straight A and amphetamine-fueled electrical engineering finals to collapse at the top of their heap. For years they toiled to learn which circuits monitored motion, how sensors could be made that could detect human touch, and have to make liquid and crystals display bright, vibrant colors. And then, in their final service to humanity, they created the Siemens CX70 EMOTY handset and loaded it with Hello Kitty My Best Friends, a collection of interactive mini-games that let us shake, stroke, and smoosh Hello Kitty through a variety of activities that are guaranteed to keep us diverted for moments to come.
