Re: [Feedback] Parental Controls - seeking feedback and ideas for the SMARTY app
I totally believe in a whitelist-only approach to media for children, not blacklist-based censorship. I am a member of a mum's group where we share videos, books and webpages that suit our shared idea of what a beneficial/suitable book or page (not site) is for our children, and then I make it available to them on their devices (downloaded, and with the adverts removed and tracking also impossible). The great benefit of this is that I am not contributing to mass censorship of the internet, but rather to a community that consents to apply the rules to themselves. This also massively reduces the risk of my children accessing dangerous and unsuitable materials, and allows me to make decisions for my own family. I don't want my internet provider to get involved with this process, in case you're wondering, SMARTY <3.5.5KViews3likes0CommentsRe: [Prize Draw] Let us know about your favourite bit of tech
What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)? I wish they still made mp3 players with hundreds of gigabytes of storage and batteries that lasted for weeks. Does anyone else remember the days when things didn't have to be constantly updated, plugged in and subject to subscription charges? And let's not forget the ability to actually own the music and audio books you had paid for and bring them anywhere, without suddenly losing access subject to the whims of big tech companies. Bring back the mp3 player!16KViews1like0Comments
