Speak & Spell

I was recently going through my closet and found my old Speak & Read, similar to Speak & Spell, the popular computerized electronic game that teaches you how to spell. I was curious on the history of the Speak & Spell and discovered that it was first made in 1978 where it was shown at CES (Consumer Electronics Show). It was a very popular toy in the 80′s, highlighted by an appearance in the Steven Spielberg classic: E.T. before slowly fading as computers became more popular. I then came across the Speak & Spell Simulator which accurately simulates the classic learning toy.
