When you ask your parents for the latest PlayStation, but instead you get older, more obscure gaming console Commodore CDTV / Philips CD-i / Casio Loopy because your parents don't want to get addicted to video games. Same as when you ask your parents for the latest smartphone, but instead you get Texas Instrument calculator that has always been the same since 1995, a Jewish flip phone, an MP3 nugget, and a digital camcorder because your parents don't want to get addicted to smartphone.
When I asked my parents for the latest PlayStation, I ended up with a Commodore CDTV instead, highlighting the classic parental technology mismatch.
