If you have watched the Season 3 of the comedy show Silicon Valley, you would definitely remember Russ Hanneman-the billionaire that “put a radio on the Internet”. Mr. Russ had a personal assistant parenting technology that managed all his parenting activities, the “mean ones” according to him (like asking his boy to switch off the TV), while he is only left with the affectionate ones (like bringing home ice cream).
Well, what this article is about is different, the anecdote was just to show the capabilities of tech in parenting. Here, we would look at very high tech gadgets for your kid’s room that can do well to improve the quality of parenting you give to him/her or them.
