Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      Have you caught The Beanie Bubble movie in theaters or on Apple TV Plus?     It is the true story….with a few name changes…about the Beanie Baby craze during the 90s and the very young employee, named Maya in the movie, who took Beanie Babies online…creating a Web site and boosting the resale popularity on eBay.  She is in reality Lina Trivedi...

“When I had the idea to create the Web site, the Web wasn’t even a thing that was commonly known.  Most people didn’t even know what the Internet was and I remember I had to explain what the Internet even was to him.”

Him…is Ty Warner…the toy billionaire.  Trivedi went on to become a top Web designer…and has a new AI startup …Joii.ai…that will address issues of loneliness and social isolation.
