A cradle that updates the baby's facebook page based on decibels, activity, dampness.

Hmmm, what about a carousel/mobile that sits above the crib. The mobile has a camera in it that takes daily pictures of the baby's face so that the parents can see their child's progression.

Maybe the mobile could upload the photos to an online album.

Shouldn't the parent pay more attention to the baby than to facebook?

He's not saying that, he's saying that you should be living his parenthood vicariously through Facebook. I agree: you should.

+1

Vicarious parenthood is cheaper, cleaner, and you can take a break from it whenever you want.

But nieces and nephews have a higher payoff than Facebook.

My sister and brothers would disagree, since I pester them to babysit.
