Just when you thought there couldn't be any more baby gadgets, Pampers unveils their new "smart diaper." That's right, a diaper that'll be attached to an app and linked to your baby's diaper.

The app and diaper will track a child's urine and sleep. Last year, Huggies debuted a similar concept in Korea, allowing parents to receive text alerts when a child has pooped.

The "smart diaper" debuts this fall, but does anyone really need it?
