Furby.jpg

In an article from PC World, a list of the top ten ugliest products in technology is given. Acoustic Coupler Modems, the Osborne 1 (portable computer), Motorola DynaTAC 8000X (cell phone), Microsoft Windows 1.0, Nintendo Virtual Boy, Tiger Electronics Furby, iMac Flower Power and Dalmatian, Neuros II Digital Audio Computer, Commodore 1541 Floppy Disk Drive, and Microsoft Zune Player. While most of these products I am very unfamiliar with, I do remember the Furby craze, and I do not know why Furby makes this list. It was the hot item of the Christmas of 1998. Personally, Furbies creep me out a little bit, but I do not think that Furbies deserve to be on a list. The look of the Furby made it so unique from anything else that I had seen before and to this day I still have a mental image of that toy. Furby was very sticky (or memorable) because of the design. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
