There was nothing like huddling around the old-time baby radio every night for the latest adventure. Every little sound was a thrill. “What was that? Is she choking? Wait – was that a possum? Is there a possum in the baby’s room? Oh my God! Possums eat babies!” Then we’d dash upstairs to find the baby, as always, sleeping soundly and breathing evenly, happily un-nibbled by possums or any other beasts. Not only was it exciting, it was good exercise.

But progress crawls onward, or stumbles onward on unsteady little legs. Here’s the First Alert Wireless Baby Monitor broadcasting live from nursery studios in beautiful downtown your house. Digital color video reveals the mundane reality behind every little creak and sigh, leaving nothing to the imagination. They promise that the 2.4 GHz transmission is private and secure. Good thing, because the only way we can get the baby to sleep is by singing her our credit card and Social Security numbers. Kids, huh?

Anyway, don’t get us wrong. We’ll be watching like everybody else would. We can’t deny that video does add quite a bit of security for our little bundle of joy. But we can’t help but feel like we’re losing a little something in the process. Besides, have you seen our baby? I mean, we love her, but that kid’s got a great face for radio.
