![Life-Altering Gadget of the Day: Bomo Baby Carriage, the world’s first robotic baby carriage, is certainly the harbinger of doom we were warned time and again not to invent.
Built ostensibly as a Roomba-style autonomous baby chauffeur, the Bomo comes with several added features that will no doubt backfire soon enough. For instance, when it’s nap time for little Johnny, the Bomo will rock him to sleep with delta-wave inducing vibrations — the same vibrations it will later use to lull you into a sense of false security right before it rips out your still-beating heart with its clandestine adamantium claws. (Why would you install adamantium claws on a baby carriage? Why??)
Think flicking the manual switch will help protect you from the coming automaton apocalypse? Think again: The Bomo is programmed to keep a watchful eye for “obstacles” even when it is presumably being steered by your infant.
Indeed, we were warned; but our desire to leave our children in the care of machines got the best of us.
Our fate has been sealed. Let the countdown begin.
