The Kickabee lets Baby Twitter from the Womb.
I’m not sure whether this contraption is bizarre, silly, or cute.
Developed by a father to be who was feeling a little left out of the pregnancy because he was missing the baby’s movements in the womb. Here’s what he says…
“As an expectant father, I am once-removed from the physical knowledge my wife has of our baby and its development. With the Kickbee, I wanted to create a device that would give me a chance to be aware of our baby’s movements.”
So he created a way for all movements to be monitor via, believe it or not, twitter and the cellphone.
I’m not making this up. Everytime that the baby kicks, the vibrations travel wirelessly to twitter which then sends an SMS message to his cell phone…
The message -’I kicked mommy at…”
I saw this on the news this weekend. I thought, “I wish I had thought of that.” I am pretty sure there will be some parents willing to fork over money for it.
As for whether or not it is a cute idea, I sure would not want to wear one. My husband might find it fun the first day, but if the phone keeps vibrating or ringing throughout the day, it will drive him crazy.
I agree. Interesting and fun way to use the new technology but in the end, I think the novelty would wear off fairly quickly.
