Rachel Teichman, LCSW, and Victor Varnado, KSN, click through the quirky digital attachment known as the Tamagotchi Effect. This psychological phenomenon describes the emotional bond people form with virtual pets and even robots. First sparked by the late-'90s toy craze, the effect has implications for our growing relationships with AI and technology. It's a nostalgic yet timely look at how tech tugs on our heartstrings.
