Remember when Atari games seemed futuristic and sophisticated? We could spend hours playing Pac-Man or Mario it felt like Back To The Future Part II. Well, times have changed, and our kids have already moved beyond two-dimensional video games and started using Google search. Thankfully, the Internet allows you to enable different filters that prevent your kids from visiting unwanted sites…but do you want to have someone to watch their web activities? Meet Chatman, the next best thing to a real friend who is there for children when they are online, whether they’re playing games, searching videos, or doing homework, and keeps them safe from common Internet hazards. Appropriate for children ages 6-12, Chatman talks, moves eyes, hands and ears, and has a unique animated LED mouth. Just like a friend, Chatman understands language, context and mood, and expresses emotions. In addition to providing education and fun, one of Chatman’s important features is the integration of parental controls that keeps a child safe online. Chatman can give parents peace of mind by working with and filtering a child’s online conversations on Facebook, Skype and MSN Messenger. Chatman sounds an alert when inappropriate web searches are attempted and, since it’s not a stand-alone chat platform, there are no worries about “stranger danger.” If you’d like to try this smart toy and keep your children safe from common internet hazards, we have a great giveaway opportunity: One lucky reader will win one “computer friend,” Chatman, worth $75.
