A Baby Monitor You Just Might Be Interested In

Remember when they came out with the baby monitor? Wasn’t that like in the 80’s. It was a clunky contraption that ran off of 6 double D batteries and sounded scratchy as it was full of white noise. I remember people ran out to by those things like the end of the world was coming. […]
