Fisher-Price Protects Kids and PC with New USB 'Keys'

Fisher-Price has a new toy for the Internet kiddies out there that helps keep kids safe online. If your kids like to play online, the problem is that often unsavory content can show up from the tamest sounding sites.

The Easy Link Internet Launch Pad only allows kids to surf the Sesame Street sites and to get to a different game or section they have to plug in a different key in the form of little figures of Sesame Street characters. The launch pad also blocks access to your computers hard drive and desktop so little ones can’t download or erase data by mistake. The device connects to your computer via USB and only works with Windows XP, 2000 or Vista. The only catch is that the device only allows access to Sesame Street’s website, so if that's not one of their favorites they won't be happy.
