Summary
Before I start, I’d like to point out that this is the very first article for new new Blog, DadTainment. So, yay me.
Ok, enough if that, let’s begin.
The Why
My kids have slowly started to gravitate towards watching YouTube or Netflix during their free time instead of playing. If my daughter Gabrielle isn’t reading, she’s watching YouTube, Simon hasn’t quite reached that point yet. This got to be a problem as we couldn’t get them to go outside to play anymore and it caused arguments, every night before bed, every morning before school and every weekend. I’m a tech guy so I opted for a tech solution.
The What
The Disney Circle is a piece of hardware, about the size of a very large coffee mug, which you connect to your home’s internet connection. The goal of this piece of hardware is to allow you to
- Control what your kids are watching
- Control how often and when they are connected to the Internet
- Control the sources of their content
- And have a Summary of their Line Activities.
