New Disney Computer Takes Fun Out of the Internet (And Rightly So)

Disney has launched a new line of computers that look like Mickey Mouse and come loaded with an armada of blocking software sure to eliminate kids from all but the Sesame Street and Barney websites. It’s not the kind of computer the average teenage boy or girl will want to use given the condition of their hormones at that particular stage of life but this introduction is a good thing – a very good thing – for young kids and parents of those young kids. Many of the things we look at and the reasons we use the Internet are certainly not for kids and the crap that is out there (here?) is not for the eyes of little kids. Let us grownups have our fun. Kids will find it no matter what but maybe this will slow them down just a tiny bit.
