Is this where we're headed as a society or am I just jelly I can't enjoy things like the cool 13-year-olds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Meh I wouldn't spend more than a quarter on one even if I was the type to jump on new trends. I honestly think anyone over the age of 12 that's still mentioning them at this point needs to be tarred and feathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 They'll be looked upon the same way as pogs, slap bracelets and Tech Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 As a skater tech decks will always have a place in my heart. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Back in 4th grade you weren't cool if you didn't have a Tech Deck. Regardless of whether or not you could skate. Sometimes in middle school the skater kids would show out and try to ride one of those big Tech Decks made for your hands, it was always funny.

PhilosipherStoned Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I've probably done it before. Personally even though the Braille youtubers have made a thing out've trying to use anything is a skateboard, I've never really wasted time trying to skate anything that wasnt made for it..

Bouvre Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm surprised there's hype at all, apart from "Cool, now I can have this thing to help me focus." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidget Spinners were designed for people with ADHD and Autism to help them focus, they aren't toys, (well they kind of are but not in the general "we thought kids would think this was fun" sense), there's a reason you don't like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename: Jackass Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I don't believe for a second they were designed for kids with ADHD, it's just a selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacks_Sympathy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I actually really like it. Whenever I'm in a meeting or teleconferencing, I use it to help me get through the boring parts and just kind of concentrate better in general (or distract me if it is a meeting I really don't want to be in). It's kind of a stress reliever too (at least for me) because for whatever reason if I'm listening to someone and using the spinner at the same time it helps me stay calmer and more focused on whatever they are saying. I'm not sure about the utility of it as a home product but I've definitely found it useful at work. Next I'm buying this just to see how useful it is.
