It's more than a toy, it's VTech.

So I went to my high school reunion recently and what was really interesting about it is how instantly it took me back to how I felt in high school.

I don't want to sound rude, but no, by all means, it was my 25th.

Oh.

And what was striking about it is that it was held at a bar here in Sydney.

And I instantly felt exactly the way I felt in high school.

I felt like a ghost just floating through the halls, like no one really like knew me or I wasn't in any of the videos that they showed.

And it just really made me feel that sense of being a little bit small and a little bit invisible.

Look, I was really uncool in high school.

I know that's hard to believe now that I'm at the apex of cool, but I was very uncool and I felt very unsure of myself socially.

I went to a single sex school and I felt like everyone else knew lots of boys and we're going on dates and that just wasn't me.

Well, that's the interesting thing because for a long time now people have been predicting that high school reunions are going to die.

Yeah.

They say you can find out everything you want to know about everyone on the internet now.

So what is the point in going to a high school reunion?

It's easier than ever to keep in touch with people.

Like why bother going?

The thing is they never die.

The media keeps predicting this and the high school reunions keep on happening.

My dad had his the same week as mine.
