I think what you are calling toys are what I would call addictions. They can get innovative with finding ways to access those addictions, but really they just want that mind numbing, repetative flashing lights and noises. Anything to shut down and avoid thinking, like a bunch of zombies.
Sorry. That’s just the rant of a 7th grade teacher.
Helps if you have kids. Middle school is still the wild west and anything can come out of it. Kids always find the toys.
