How Will You Know if The Kids Are on the
Internet?
It connects to the audio piece and works like a
tiny monitor that projects an image through the
really cool bug-eye monocle into my eye. It has
lots of serious applications, but my favorite
is to watch Buffy.
My mom has already realized that when the video
is on, the lenses become less transparent. That
way she knows if Im really paying attention to
her or reading my email. Shes caught on quickly.
