Home Internet Monitoring with the Mikko Que: One Simple
Device Controls Many Complex Machines
According to the Henry J. Kaiser Family
Foundation, 37 percent of children age 4-6 can turn a computer
on by themselves. As every parent has experienced, once children
know how to turn computers on, they don’t want to turn them
off. This makes home Internet monitoring almost impossible
for busy parents trying to juggle work, family needs, housework,
and the like. After all, how can you monitor your child’s
Internet usage 24/7 and control the amount of time your child
spends online? Won’t they just jump right back on the computer
the minute you have your back turned?
 The answer to home Internet monitoring —
as well as video game and TV
parental control – is the Mikko Que. With the Mikko Que,
you can easily limit the hours your children spend surfing
the Internet, watching TV, and playing the Xbox (or Playstation,
Wii, etc.) with one simple-to-use device. All you have to
do is:
- Plug the Internet, TV, and video game
signals into the Mikko Que
- Use the Mikko setup software on your
PC or laptop (or any borrowed computer) to create individual
Internet, television, and video game schedules for each
child
- Use any USB drives to burn a Mikko TimeKey
for each child
- Tell your child to insert his or her
TimeKey into the Mikko Que and follow the instructions to
use the allotted screen time
- When time's up, the TV, Internet, or
video game signal is interrupted and the screen goes dark
Virtually all research agrees that home
Internet monitoring and time limits should start as soon as
the child learns how to use the computer. The Mikko Que not
only makes this type of advanced
parental control possible, it also teaches the child the
value of time management from a very early age. For instance,
if your child knows he or she only gets one hour of TV, two
hours of Internet, and one hour of video games a day, your
child will quickly learn how to schedule those activities
into the daily routine. No more losing precious hours of homework
and sleep time to the Internet!
