Internet Control from the Mikko Que Helps Parents &
Children Manage Screen Time
The Internet is an amazing resource, with
loads of information available at your fingertips, instantly.
However, too much of anything is not a good thing, and this
is especially true with Internet time. Luckily, the Mikko
Que gives parents a reliable Internet control tool that helps
manage kids' screen time, both on the computer and on other
media devices in the house.
 Research has found that screen time-or the
amount of time using a computer, TV, or video game-is actually
one of the most important indicators for many of the negative
side effects of media overexposure. Thus, utilizing parental
Internet control options such as the Mikko Que to manage
your children's web time can be a powerful tool for encouraging
a healthier lifestyle.
With the Mikko Que, Internet control is
just one of the media management options at your disposal,
since our innovative, proprietary technology can be connected
to just about any device in your home. Here's how it works:
- Using the included setup software, parents
can use their own computer-or a computer at work or a friend's
house -to program the names and a time schedule range when
each family member can access devices (for example, 3-5
p.m. and 7-10 p.m.) as well as the total time allowed on
each device, for themselves and for each child. This information
is burned onto a USB thumb drive (called a TimeKey), one
for every family member.
- After inserting his or her TimeKey into
the Mikko Que, the family member selects TV, video games,
Internet, etc. from the LCD screen on the Mikko Que. Then
the user's timer will start.
- When nearing the user's allotted time
limit, an incremental audible and visual warning will alert
the user to save any work (for example, a warning at 5 minutes/3
minutes/1 minute/30 seconds). Once a user's scheduled time
limit has been reached on a certain media type (TV, Internet,
video game), he or she will not have access to this type
of media in the home for the rest of the day on all devices
connected to a MIKKO Que. The TimeKey will not allow access,
as it blocks the audio and video signal.
If you're worried about your children's
screen time with the Internet, TV, and video games, or are
exasperated by the constant confrontations over the amount
of time spent on these devices, trust the Mikko Que. Our cutting
edge technology is your friend when it comes to Internet control,
parental TV control,
and other media management for your family, and can help you
teach your children responsible media usage. Whether it's
TV time, video game usage, or Internet control, the Mikko
Que is a versatile tool you can rely on.
