The internet today has become a dangerous place for children. Children can be exposed to a lot of things and may be harassed by others. Now companies are trying to protect and limit the amount children are exposed to with toys. The toys are basically shortcut keys to make sure kids use the toy. If a kid is given a keyboard, then he or she has unlimited possibilites but if you limit it by giving him or her access to only certain things than he or she is forced to pick among their choices. The toys limit a child's freedom but the internet may expose content that children should not be exposed to. It allows parents to know that their children are not witnessing things that they believe that the children are not ready for. The toys would allow children to feel like they are apart of the "adult" world and it will allow them to access what they want without the hassle, it is also a toy so kids can have fun with the devices.
