Moms to be replaced by refrigerators and doors

Are parents so last year? Who needs ‘em when you can have electronic messages on the fridge telling the kids when to brush their teeth, eat their dinner, and go to karate class. Thanks to Scribbler, a new Israeli technology, parents can just email their home computer and have the message appear on a mini-touch screen anywhere you can stick it.
It needs to come with a warning so hi-tech parents don’t get carried away: Kids may figure out how to turn it off, ignore it, or smash it with a hammer. This device should not replace parenting.
Israel21C reports that the price will be $100 when it hits stores later this year, and the company behind Scribbler, Winbond Israel, is working on more in-home, gadget-syncing technologies.

Interesting technology, although I am not too sure how useful this would be in the “mobile age” where I am seeing pre-teens with cell phones now.
It would probably be easier (and cheaper) to simply send a voicemail or SMS than have something on the fridge (aside from paper and magnets).
Good point, Darnell, maybe it’s just another gadget
