Ring Toss

Thanks to the investments made in technology, many of the things we want are now bundled into one object we can hold in our hands. Although initially created for long-distance communication, phones today can access the internet, play music, stream movies, and even play games.

Plus, with each year introducing a new feat or an upgrade, who knows what else these handheld computers can do? Years before all this innovation became mainstream, however, we had a different handheld device that kept us entertained. It may look like a phone, but it only had two buttons and a small, transparent plastic container filled with water and some rings. Watching them float around – and hopefully, land on one of those pole things – could keep a kid occupied for hours.
