High-tech toys are not as popular as you might think, as parents worry about screentime and short-lived attention. The company behind the Cosmo robot folded, just-for-kids drones are posing safety and legal risks, and all-things-Silicon Valley are raising privacy red flags. Meanwhile, toys that allow for simple play with an optional tech experience are trending.
