Running a busy household is basically project management, but can a digital calendar actually fix the chaos? Before you invest hundreds in a digital family calendar, there are a few tech realities you need to know.

This is just an ad. Thumbs down.

Also, why even bother getting one when you can just either use an existing dedicated tablet, hack/use an e-ink device or use a normal calendar (physical or digital) like everyone else does?

This is just dishonest, since the downsides are addressed and fair comparisons are made.

@Motwera, obviously, because the point is to have a dedicated device to the calendar function and using a tablet already purchased requires it is rarely / not in use, also still remains capable to run the appropriate apps.
On top of this, a turnkey solution is convenient, especially when you have the money to spend on it.

It’s also a dumb product category. Bridget would have ripped it a new one.

What is the point? Why? I feel like these companies are just throwing garbage at the wall to see what sticks to the wall and what falls off the wall.
