The Internet Security Key
Pretty much just an extension of all those TV locks that became popular in the Eighties after parents everywhere started freaking out over MTV, the Internet Security Key is another one of those little boxes that you can use to control your kid's access to the Internet. You plug it in between your PC and your cable or DSL modem, and once you remove its special card key there's no way for your six-year-old to get online and download porn or illegally share music or visit any al-Qaeda websites (we'd tell all of our porn-loving pre-teen readers to just disconnect the box and plug directly in, but they put special security sleeves around the jacks so you can't remove the cables). The clunky,
typo-ridden website doesn't exactly inspire much confidence, but if you're down, they're selling them for $40.
