When my friend got the toy I was expecting something else. I thought that you could write a message and it will go to the friend ,But I was wrong. I found out that In order to send the message you have to give your friend your chip (so you if your friend is sitting across the room I guess you have to throw it to her) I also think it's stupid because if you use it at school the teacher might not know what it is but they will know you are not paying attention so they will obviously take it away from you and if they find out what it's for you will get in huuuuuuuuuuuuuge trouble and the friendchip might be banned from the school. Also what if your friend is out of town what are you supposed to do throw it and hope it reaches her? So all I'm trying to say is that it is pointless.
