Too advanced for our own good?

There always seems to be a clever solution to every conceivable problem, doesn't there? But sometimes I find myself thinking - "Does that solution not create a problem?" Almost like a game of Jeopardy, but for inventions.

Take this FANTASTIC gizmo - The Child Minder.
I am certain that, like myself, you will be aghast at this fantastic product!
According to the website,

"Each year, dozens of children in the US die because of a regrettable, preventable error - being left in a vehicle by a distracted parent or caretaker."

The product is quite simple, attaching to your child's car seat belt buckle, this thingy-me-bob will alert you via an attachment to your key ring when you are outside of a 10ft radius of your child!

Forgive me questioning this, but does this actually happen?
Well, sadly, apparently it does.
According to the website's rather gloomy headline,

"[being left in the vehicle during hot weather] is the 2nd leading cause of noncrash, nontraffic automobile related deaths among children"

(By the way being "Backed over by another vehicle" is responsible for twice as many deaths of kids in cars) [See the graph]

Now I am certain that mistakes can happen. I forget my mobile phone sometimes, or leave my keys behind when I leave the house. I have never been a parent, nor a child minder by profession, but surely forgetting your child is serious enough for us to question society - not for us to create a solution to this apparently widespread problem?

As a footnote, I would urge you to visit the website - but ensure that your computer's speakers are turned on and working. I am not sure whether to take the song seriously or whether to fall off my chair in fits of hysteria.
