Hot not-so-fun in the summertime

It must be tough being a kid in the internet age. Back in the pre-internet era kids either played outside or watched TV--now they can spend hours surfing the internet--that is until GetNoodles interrupts the fun.

GetNoodles is a new downloadable program that parents can set to interrup whatever kids are doing online every 5, 10, 15 minutes--it depends on how annoying mom or dad really wants to be. Here's the trick: The kids have to answer an age appropriate question--it can anything from learning a new language to math. If they answer the question they get go right back to whatever they were doing before they were interrupted--if they don't answer correctly--it's back to the drawing board until they get it right.

Back in pre-internet age that would have never happened--and it's a good thing because I'm still terrible at math.
