i wonder how many people here have or use one. I got one it was made on 3D printer from someone and it spins just as good as the ones people pay money for.

Fad

1.
a temporary fashion, notion, manner ofconduct, etc., especially one followedenthusiastically by a group.
 
Not that I have anything against fads. I just don't often find them interesting. At least not long enough to bother with participating.

I thought the pet rock was cute, but the fasination wore off before I actualy saw one. Same for the fidget spinners. They were mildly intersting, but by the time I saw one I was no longer interested. Especially since the first ones I saw were obviously cheap knockoffs.

Besides, I'm a traditionalist. I fidget with a pen or pencil.
 
Technically almost anything is a fad. I suppose iPads and iPods could be considered as such as well.
Generally, a fad is something that has a brief period of incredible popularity then fades away quite quickly. Other things, such as iPads, have lasting value and will endure in one form or another for quite some time.
