Time-Scout

Ok! Situation solved on how to reduce the amount of screen time exposure. We do want our kids to live a physical and active lifestyle don't we? Instead of watching television, playing around on the computer screen, or video gaming.... Well, I just came across this Time-Scout TV lock website that actually counts the amount of time you watch tv, on computer, or whatever. It's where you can control the amount of time on these things without being the bad guy. Here is the link if you just want to check it out.... http://www.time-scout.com/learn/index.php

What do you think of this invention? Should it be marketted? Is it really going to be found effective? Will this take away from a child's technological skills with a computer... What are your thoughts?!

i think its an interesting idea but at the same time... its kind of scary that we need to start thinking and inventing these types of devices to monitor our kids... do we really have that little control over what youth do that we need to measure the exact time they spend the computer or watching tv?
