Families who are spending far too much time in front of the TV or games consoles or parents who are trying to get their little blessings to do something slightly more productive, then the BOB system from Hopscotch Technology will do the job for you. BOB is a time management device that monitors time spent on the TV, computer or games console that it is attached to securely. Designate time by day or week and after the time is up the media device attached to the BOB switches off. Users with PIN codes can book specific times, override or add additional time and it's tamper proof against enterprising little tikes. It's out in the US now. British parents will have to just say 'no' instead.
