Technology: Trick or Treat?

For as long as Neopians can remember, Halloween has been a time of macabre merriment. The holiday has come to embody youthful exuberance, sugar-fueled nostalgia, pumpkin-spice mayhem, and the odd spook here and there. But recently, some Neopians have become concerned that Halloween fun has become too dependent on technology. It can be hard to imagine that Neopia's #1 social media (and generally privacy-violating) conglomerate, 'PetCentral, went live only two weeks ago. Yet, Neopians from all around the planet have quickly adopted the platform to effortlessly share photographs of themselves (or their Petpets) dressed in all sorts of cute, frightening, and even scandalously revealing costumes.
