May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Obesity among the youth of America has become a growing concern in the minds of many parents. Could technological advances be a major factor in children’s weight gain?  Are children simply spending too much time in front of the T.V., and not enough time in engaging in physical activity? Parents begin to question how much T.V., video games, or computer time should be allowed per day, and how to avoid the argument of getting kids up and active. Technological advances in video game systems and home entertainment devices have made limiting electronic usage among children more difficult with every new gadget that becomes available. Although video games are becoming more interactive, the fact of the matter is that children could be spending too much time enveloped in technology and not enough time interacting with peers and participating in physical activities.
The solution to encouraging healthier activities for children, is here. The Power Cop Generation II is a programmable locking device designed to regulate electronic usage time. Parents can program daily allowances of usage time for electronics. When time for that day expires, the electronic device in use powers off, and cannot be turned on until the Power Cop Generation II is unlocked and settings are changed. This parent-friendly time monitor offers a variety of programming options in which parents customize a daily electronics schedule for children to familiarize with.  Kids will learn valuable time management skills, in which they learn to appreciate the time they have to use electronics. When time expires, they simply must find an alternative activity. If a child is grounded or is not allowed to use an electronic device, the Power Cop Generation II will disable electronics completely, and serve as a rule enforcer.
