Historical Context

Tamagotchis, launched in 1996, revolutionized virtual pets, selling over 76 million units by 2010. Their demand led to widespread emotional attachment, termed the "Tamagotchi effect," causing schools to ban them due to distractions. This phenomenon reflects a broader trend of human interaction with digital entities, paralleling the rise of AI and robotics, reshaping social relationships and emotional connections.
