Computers, childen and parents

Released on = October 17, 2006, 10:03 am

Press Release Author = IT Works Corporation

Industry = Education

Press Release Summary = Tool to automatically shutdown computer and to keep PC off
for defined inteval

Press Release Body = Computers have become a large part of our everyday activities,
being used more and more for paying bills, research, school projects, shopping, even
going to the library.

However with the convenience also comes exposure. The threat of someone hacking
your computer and getting your personal information, viruses that destroy your work,
etc. is a problem facing us all. Web space is virtually unregulated, with almost no
laws governing usage and content of websites.

As parents we recognize that our CHILDREN ARE AT A BIGGER RISK from going to
inappropriate web sites, giving out personal information to a "chat friend", or even
worse, running into sexual predators posing as "chat friends".

Our children have been empowered WITH A RIGHT TO PRIVACY, IN A WORLD THAT IS NOT
PRIVATE. There are already a number of reliable solutions available in these areas
to help us protect our children and we highly endorse their use.


"our children are LACKING in PHYSICAL ACTIVITy"

There is another risk to our children, a passive risk, which computer over use has
caused. It has been recognized that the lack of physical activity is harming our
children and as parents, we should not allow this to happen.

It is difficult, if not impossible to monitor our children's' computer time,
especially when this will undoubtedly result in conflict with our children. The
computer is thought of as an educational tool rationalizing that it is good for
them, but anything is excess is harmful.

It is our job, to protect our children by teaching moderation, and TO turn off the
computer, which is not so easily done, especially in the two parent job families of
today and with the possibly that our children have become addicted to computer games
or online chats.

Ez OFF® and its' companion, SYSTEM GATE® places the computer ON/OFF button under our
finger, whether we are home or not, giving more control over what our sons and
daughters do with the computer, how much time they sit in front of the monitor and
what programs they can run.
