Does CHATTY CATHY Count as Technology?

The List of Early Technology in my Life... continued

I woke up the other morning and remembered about Chatty Cathy.
She was sitting under the Christmas tree one year, I must have been about 4 or 5.

A tall doll with a cord.  Pull the cord, and SHE TALKS. 

That's technology, isn't it? 

"a capability given by the practical application of knowledge" or
"a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes."  Webster's Collegiate

So instead of the mother having to stop what she's doing, like baking cookies from scratch or vacuuming something (Chatty Cathy was produced by Mattel era 1959-1965) she could let the DOLL talk to her daughter. 

This was after my Mom learned I required constant supervision, even if it was a doll, as if left to my own devices I might get in trouble, like the time she found me with my toy stove.
