I'm so old I Remember when:

[notabitail]

I had a doll that cried if you turned her upside down and shook her (who wouldn’t?). That was as high tech as my dolls ever got.
Prior to that the most high tech I had was one whose eyelids moved so she could close her eyes. Now that really was creepy.
In truth I was more into animals and they were reliably low tech.

We had the ones with the eyelids closing and the ones that's supposed to poop so you learn to change the diapers (that's what they claimed).

High tech but low intelligence. Compared to chickens, low tech, high intelligence.

Imagine stepping on a jack hiding in shag carpet.

Or a Lego

Or a Lego

Having stepped on both, stepping on a jack was much worse than stepping on a Lego.
