Can't seem to get your kids to stop playing games? A 79-year-old Minnesota man is banking on it. John Morrisey's invention, the GameDr, is making headlines as a potentially useful tool for parents sick of arguing with kids over play time. The device is essentially a fancy version of a cooking timer. Parents simply program in a certain number of minutes or hours, at which time the password-protected GameDr shuts off power to the console entirely. Since it connects to your console's power cord, it can work with pretty much any system on the market. http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged...to-quit/1333725 http://www.startribune.com/business/493447...iD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU This is seriously a joke to me. :lol: It would never catch on in my opinion. If you look at the picture in the second article, you could probably cut right through the 'plastic' or whatever it is made of and unplug the cord from it.
If kids are so badly behaved that they need to have the power physically cut off for their parents to get them off their consoles, those kids should have them taken away indefinately.
I'm going to invent a special device, which you attach to the plug of loved-ones' Life Support machines, that turns off the machines after a specified time, for the people who don't have the strength to pull the plugs themselves. Passworded, of course, so they can't turn it back on themselves.
