Who would have thought, toys that are currently nge-trends are not high technology. The name is a spinner fidget, a small toy that can be rotated with a finger.
From the name is very clear, 'fidget' in Indonesian means anxious or anxious, while 'spinner' means the player. In general, this small finger-size device is played to ward off boredom or anxiety.
This toy has existed for a long time and started to be famous this year in Indonesia. But overseas, there are many schools that ban the spinner fidget.
Reporting from CBS News, the spinner fidget is made of plastic, has three hollow branches. Users can play it just by using a finger, and holding the center of the spinner fidget.
Live Science writes that many of the spinner fidget are marketed with the aim of helping people with excessive anxiety, autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In fact, one of the sellers of the spinner fidget at Amazon.com promises its users can have a higher concentration, plus able to bring the hidden genius inside.
Unfortunately, many scientists disagree with this statement. In fact they tend to call it excessive.
"Using a spinner fidger works more as a diversion rather than providing benefits for people with ADHD," says Mark Rapport, a psychologist at the University of Central Florida.
Although the spinner fidget is favored by children, it is not the case with teachers at school. Master referred to it as a twisting game that was very disturbing to concentration.
It's no wonder then that some US schools like SD in Kansas and Illinois prefer to ban the game from entering the school grounds.
All things there are pros and cons. Are you interested in playing the spinner fidget?
