Week 4 EOC:There's An App for That

“SmartyPants”

I would like to have an app where people can track their children’s phones. There are a lot of problems with pedophile and people trying to talk to kids over the net by on line chatting, networking sites, and many other ways. This app will be made so parents can tap into any phone that is on their account. You would just download the app, input the number you want to track and all of your acct info to make sure it matches. Then you will have complete access to anything that goes on in the phone. What things are downloaded, any IM chats, any texts sent out or received, any emails sent or received, a history of any and all websites visited.

I think this is good because kids, especially teenagers hide things from their parents or erase things out of their phone for their parents not to see. This is the perfect way for parents to keep a hold of their children’s daily lives and help monitor good decision making skills. I would advertise this app as a security app, for the parents who truly care about their kids. I believe when it comes to your children and their safety you can never be too cautious, making sure your kid is at the location they say they are at is very important. Also knowing whom your children are talking to on a daily basis and what websites they are visiting on a daily basis is very important as well.

As children grow into teenagers they become more distant with their parents, whether it’s because they feel that they don’t understand them, or for many other reasons. This way parents can always stay in tuned with their teenager, know what their into and not into, know what’s bothering and what hurting them. Bullying is very big now of days. This app can definitely start helping parents become more aware and bring this horrible hobby to an end.
