Sign of the times: Even Smurfs come from China
Sorry for further lowering the quality of this blog, but I guess I’m too busy to write anything serious and balanced at the moment.
I earlier reported about most consumer devices being made in China, and it would not be far-fetched to suggest that cultural icons like Smurfs also would come from China, even though they are distributed by a German toy company.
Here’s the whole set, with the latest in 1” netbooks. The keys are a bit small, but that doesn’t matter much, as the screen only has 176*184 pixels (the resolution of a VIC-20), and it can only run VIC-20 games and applications with Smurf in the name.
Just kidding, or am I? Actually a computer capable of running VIC-20 applications could be made this small. It’s the UI that’s the problem, but at least my Smurfs approve (Papa Smurf drinks to it).
Actually I bought the Smurfs to use as office decoration, and the PC doesn’t work, I think.
