While there are a million amazing gadgets, apps, and sites that make life easier and less painful, sometimes you need to ask – is it necessary? Here are three inventions that might take technology too far.
When Saying Happy Birthday is Too Much
This handy little Google Chrome extension remembers all your Facebook friends’ birthdays when you can’t. The best part is that it sends a birthday greeting for you! Nothing like a computer-generated message to make your 1,956 Facebook friends feel extra special on their day.
When Holding Your iPad is Too Difficult
Next time you find yourself grocery shopping in the United Kingdom, you won’t have to worry about holding your iPad. This shopping cart comes with a dock and speakers designed exclusively for your device. Hallelujah! Wait, who’s shopping with an iPad and why do we need speakers? Nevermind.
When Checking On Your Child is Too Annoying
Baby monitors no more. This spy camera watches your sleeping baby so you don’t need to drop in and swoon over the peaceful quiet of a newborn. Instead, you can enjoy this moment on a screen. Just like everything else in your life.
