Tranwo Digital Wireless Child Tracker will find your errant kids

Parents of the 21st century must be exceptionally bad at keeping track of their kids, given that we've seen a small handful of devices trying to achieve what parents somehow have been able to do for millennia without the benefit of such gadgetry. The latest addition to the party is Tranwo's Digital Wireless Child Tracker, which comes with a parent and child unit, allowing each to call for the other via a series of beeps. Basically, when one person signals for the other, the buzzers in each device will sound, and will get faster and faster as parent and child get closer together. No word on how much nor when this ridiculous invention will hit the streets, but the five-language manual indicates that Tranwo is probably aiming for a global release.

Darn, this thing came too little too late. I wish that James Kim had one of these on him when he got lost in the Oregon Wilderness.

I actually found a cool invention on the internet awhile ago that helps you keep track of your kids. I think it was from Apple, because it was called something like "iS." I don't remember exactly. Anyways, it used some fancy optics and extremely accurate facial recognition software to determine who is your child, and who isn't.

They were talking about potentially using it in a military field to determine friends vs. foes on smart-weapons, but deemed it too expensive.

Oh jeez, I love staying up late.

I would rather use it for small geocaching or some kind of crazy urban hide and seek or ctf or SOMETHING.

Yeah, if these are cheap enough there's tons of fun things that could be done with it.

The human race, using technology to achieve the same level of parenting as animals.

Imagine the fun a kid could have running/hiding away from their parent once they work out how this device works.
