GRAPEVINE, Page 17FORWARD SPIN
By SOPHFRONIA SCOTT GREGORY
Summer's coming, and so are the gadget makers, displaying
their wares in Chicago this week at the 1992 International
Summer Consumer Electronics Show. Among the offerings:
MY BANK TELLER
The piggy bank of the '90s is a tyke-size home ATM machine
that handles withdrawals and balance quotations and even tells
little Ashley or Justin how much to deposit in savings each
week. Next: My Little Broker, the pint-size Charles Schwab doll.
BEEPERKID
A high-pitched signal lets you know when Junior has
wandered more than 35 feet away. If he's not in sight, just push
a button and activate the child's homing device. Next:
TeenFence, an invisible electronic barrier that keeps teenage
daughters in and teenage suitors out.
