Children have been telling their secrets to their toys forever. Now they can have a back-and-forth conversation with Hello Barbie using WiFi and speech recognition technology. Is she a spy for research?
The latest shot in the battle to make people accept and love their bodies has been fired by a doll that could very well turn the toy industry on its ear.
