Let BOB Watch the Kids
Filed under: Gadgets
BOB is a new device from Hopscotch Technology that lets parents manage the time their kids
spend online, watching television or using a variety of other tech devices during the week. Parents can set the device
for a predetermined amount of time and BOB will automatically shut off once that time has elapsed. BOB works with most
computers, televisions and video game consoles. Features include: a personal PIN number for every family member and a
master code (for the parents), weekly and daily time frames and overall time reporting for each user. A very
interesting feature allows the master user to block out certain time periods - so when there is a babysitter, you can
still be sure the kids aren't watching any late night TV. BOB will be released later this month. Price $90.
