This Giant Red Button Texts Your Mom When You're Home Safe

by Emily Arata

On a scale of one to 10, how much does your mother panic when she doesn't know where you are?

The team behind family messaging app imHome is working to alleviate mom's stress with a giant red button that texts her so she's sure you're safe.

The prototype button, designed with the aid of bt.tn for Stanford University's annual hackathon, is optimal for the lazy teenager who just can't be bothered to look uncool in front of friends.

Instead, he or she can just reach into his or her bag and tap the button.

Moms everywhere would sleep a little more soundly instead of waiting on those last-minute safe arrival texts.
