Furby

Furby—a fuzzy creature with piglet ears, a bird beak, and drowsy, blinking eyes—debuted in 1998. It featured innovative technology, including adaptive language learning (pre-programmed) and sensors. More than 40 million Furbies sold within the first three years of production. It was reintroduced to a new generation of kids in 2023 with enhancements. For more than 25 years, Furby has encouraged interactive, imaginative play, and demonstrated the capabilities of sophisticated technology.
