Technologically Gifted
My wife and I both work so we need to send our 11 month old son to daycare everyday, it is actually a friend of the family that watches kids at her home. She let us know about a situation that occurred yesterday and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. Her family recent got digital cable with all of the pay channels that comes with a remote that is straight from NASA (I know, we have one.) My son loves to play with the remote and cordless phone at home and our friend knows this. So when he started playing with the remote yesterday afternoon she didn't think much of it. Until she left the room for a moment and heard some strange (but slightly familiar) music coming from the TV room. It turns out that out of the 275 channels that my son could have chosen, he picked porn.
Moving forward, we'll be monitoring his media usage closely.
