The concept here is far from new, but that doesn’t mean that the latest iteration isn’t way more frustrating. For kids just looking to “discover themselves” somewhere on the world wide web, the Kids Online Guard USB Stick is a nightmare of the worst kind. Designed to keep your offspring away from files, websites and folders that you deem inappropriate, it seems to work by triggering limits when plugged in, and when unplugged, the whole PC likely locks everyone out. Of course, we’re guessing that this is just the thing to train your kid to become the planet’s next great circumventer / hacker, so if viewing this as a “training tool” makes you sleep easier, you can get one headed your way for $21.69.
