Prego's $20 voice recorder aims to keep phones off the dinner table

Campbell Soup's Prego brand is launching the Connection Keeper on April 27: a simple, screen-free recording device bundled with pasta sauce and conversation starters for $20. Press a button to record family dinners without the lag or distraction of smartphone apps. Recordings can be saved through StoryCorps. The product targets grocery stores and appeals to families seeking a break from screens. Worth flagging: users have to remember to hit record, and the audio quality in loud kitchens at this price point remains unproven.
