How many times a day, across the world, do parents say: “Get off that computer!” For parents it is an exhausting daily battle to drag their children off the computer and get them on to other activities like homework, dinner, and outdoor play.
GroundHog is a free, simple to install, simple to use, friendly application that simply limits each child to a given amount of computer time. The application gives parents set once and forget control of the amount of time that their child can spend on the computer (screen time).
Once the child has used their time limit the friendly application cuts the connection to the internet and optionally blanks the screen, making the computer useless to the child for entertainment. Children can use their time in parts during the day and they are informed at all times how much time remains. The next day the child’s computer time is automatically reset.
GroundHog is home-created and tested technology: Evolved in the home over one year to provide a solution acceptable for parents and none breakable by children but friendly, and non-threatening to use.
James Alexander Mediavention founder states: “Internet use was a constant source of pain in our house; I created GroundHog to solve the problem in my home, I am sure it can help you.”
