Key Points:
- Prego has launched the Connection Keeper, a limited-edition recording device designed to capture smartphone-free family mealtime conversations and encourage more discussion.
- The puck-like device, created in partnership with nonprofit StoryCorps, records audio via a button-activated system and stores up to eight hours of conversation on a 16GB microSD card.
- The device has no screen or internet connectivity, only a USB-C port for charging and transferring recordings to StoryCorps' encrypted portal, which offers privacy controls.
- Recordings will be private by default but can be shared publicly in StoryCorps' archive starting May 4, with users advised to obtain consent from all participants before uploading.
- Priced at $20, fewer than 100 units will be sold starting April 27, making the device a limited and potentially quickly sold-out item.
