Empowering Safe Internet for Kids: Unveiling Happinetz
- August 3, 2023
- Business & Tech
With children using the internet extensively, it is more important now than ever that they get access to age-appropriate and safe content. Recently we had a discussion on what it means when we say we can finally have Safe Internet for Kids.
Tech plays a crucial role when it comes to securing children online.
There are at least 22 million adult and uncensored websites and apps on the internet. That indeed is alarming. Imagine what our children are being exposed to and how it will affect innocent minds. Internet is unavoidable, we get that. But there should be other ways that technology can help make the internet safer.
The Role of Families in Providing a Safe Online Experience
92% of parents worry about their child’s safety online. If you are also one among them, we understand where you are coming from because it is not practically possible to monitor 24/7 what your child is doing online. While education and awareness are important, it is also crucial to enable parental control tools to create safe internet spaces.
A majority of the parents in our community worry about both the amount of time their kids spend online and the kind of content they consume. To strike a balance between the two is what a parent strives to do.
Parental Controls
Most parental control tools available on the market are complex and make it difficult for parents to use. There are many challenges and today’s tech-savvy kids come up with a workaround to bypass these controls in a jiffy. A tool that can help in customizing as per a household’s needs without making it rocket science to comprehend and operate is the need of the hour.
Moreover, implementing screentime rules with kids ends up mostly in tears, screams, yells, and tempers flying around. It is, therefore, imperative to make the kids understand the problems associated with bad internet.
Happinetz and #SafeInternetforKids
The Happinetz Box enables safe Wi-Fi browsing for children with its multi-level filtering system. It comes with its personalized screen time manager to help manage internet schedules. This would help manage screen time for kids at home.
Vikas Agarwal, the co-founder of Happinetz says,
“This was very important for us, as a company we believe just the quality of the internet is not enough, quantity plays an equal role in providing #SafeInternetForKids. An insider view- this was the first feature we worked on.”
Happinetz divides the internet into 15 categories and works as a filter for your child’s internet. Most of the parents wanted to switch off the gaming category. As a solution, the Happinetz Box comes with a set of age-appropriate games for children. Also, any adult or unsecured websites and apps are by default, filtered by the system.
