London Review of Books Tamagotchi love. Very interesting article (subscription needed to read the whole of it) on 'relational artefacts' by Sherry Turkle. Concerns the use of computers to mediate affect rather than intelligence. Considers tamagotchis (which are a big deal in our house at the moment), but goes well beyond these little 'intimate machines'.
