Comparing the way homes are operated 100 years ago and now, we will discern that Technology is having a great impact on home management. Technology relieves the homemaker from so many stressful house works. How does the baby monitor help in easing housework stress? Why not just walk to the nursery to check on the baby? After all, it takes less than a minute to walk from the living room or studio to the nursery. It's often said that Technology abets laziness but is it true? I'd say it's more about freedom than laziness as it helps to bridge the physical distance between the mother and the baby giving the mother some free time to herself. With the baby monitor, the mother can cook and care for the baby simultaneously. With less than $200, you can buy yourself this freedom.
