How Video Doorbells Help Us Make Nicer Lies
6th August 2017
Because I’m always eager to fill up the yawning void of existential dread with a new gadget, I got one of those video doorbells. The picture is crisp and clear. My doorbell broadcasts a better image than CBS circa 2001. At night it shows stars; it’s like I bolted the Hubble to my house.
I can’t wait to use it with a visitor, but no one’s shown up yet. For once in my life, I actually want someone coming around the house to sell me magazines so I can get rid of them remotely, from my phone, wherever I am.
I, too, purchased such a doorbell. I am looking forward to using it to castigate anyone so unfortunate as to land on my doorstep without bearing a box from Amazon.
