Nonconfrontational tool for parents to exercise discretion of child's use |
Message: |
|
I applaud this effort at making a virtual minimall of information and content safe
for children to visit. The added extra is the hybrid of parents' proactive involvement
and and technical consultants' expertise and oversight in restricting inappropriate
content. The need is real and global today wherever desktops exist for children.
Below is an excellent, true example of this need. Recently a single mother in my
office found a new screen saver on the home computer, of a woman in a bikini, and
couldn't get it off. She told me she didn't know how to check the files recently
accessed or track her son's usage of internet connectivity. Her parenting control
was quick and effective; before leaving for work the next day she disconnected the
keyboard and put it in her trunk. She told her son she wouldn't put it back until
the picture was removed. Even though I showed her how to track and limit access
to the browser, and where on the local drive temporary internet files could be surveyed
and reviewed for content after her son's use, I realised this domain would be a perfect
host to dedicate the browser to. She could observe off-domain surfing while at home
while permitting her son access to the .kids web while she was gone, without hassles
or arguments. Restrictive utility is required for this benefit. Bravo to Mr. Howe
to providing this option.
