About MIKKO USA & Our System
Necessity is the mother
of invention...
Founded in 2005, MIKKO USA is a home electronics company specializing
in the development of media control solutions that make it
possible for parents to manage the amount of time their children
spend watching television, playing video games and on the
Internet.
 According
to MIKKO founders, Michael Putnam and Joe Paonessa, their
own need for a simple, effective time-management solution
for their families' home entertainment systems defines the
company's mission.
For Michael, his 11-year-old daughter was literally glued
to the television -- to the point where conversation wasn't
even possible without the precursory "turn off the television"
dispute. And Joe once found his 12-year-old son pulling an
all-nighter trying to beat a video game with a box of Hershey
Bars, his Play Station 2 and the travel television smuggled
from the family's SUV.
Almost every parent has a similar story -- and almost every
parent has searched for an effective, non-confrontational
solution.
Hence, the MIKKO Que -- an easy-to-use timing system that
enables parents to manage and monitor the amount of time a
child may spend on a particular entertainment system connected
to a lock box that interrupts video and audio signals.
