The Internet of Things... for babies?

The fiscal times posted an article a few months ago titled "The internet of things is coming for your baby"


From baby monitors to nanny cams, to wearable devices to track your toddlers and older kids ... the internet has changed the way we do things, how we watch our kids.  
I think there is a lot of good (and not soo good stuff) that can come out of all of this... Time will tell..
For now - I am thankful for these options!  


Here is a list of some of the products in the market today (or in the very near future):
Mimo Smart Baby Monitor  
Owlet baby monitor and alarm 
MonBaby baby monitor 
Withings Smart Kid Scale - and grown ups - there is something for you here as well - ranging from wrist watches with time and activity trackers, to blood pressure monitors - you name it!

I never tried the fancy baby monitors - as they weren't available when my tots were babies , but I did uses webcams and I must say, I love them and still do!  I love watching my tiny tots when I am away.. or if they are in day care or even when a baby sitter is watching them... the result??? I have more peace, but I don't pay attention to my work or school or date night (woops!)


What about wearable devices for tracking kids?  I haven't gone that far yet - but I must say - I am tempted to get the devices especially when I go out to crowded areas with my two kids - kids get easily distracted and wonder off... would be nice to be aware of this behavior - esp when you a parent / caregiver is outnumbered by the kids..
