    VexBox throttles teens' Internet speeds. Evil, brilliant or both?

    Their work to encourage young people to design a Kickstarter project to a painful crawl slow down their Internet connection works.

    It is not amused by Young's VexBox.

    I spoke just installed a VexBox and parents who are teen parents to imagine how it will be between:

    "If you've cleaned your room yet?"

    "No, Mom. I'm video chatting with your friends online."

    "Oh, yeah? And how it feels like 1998 cleaning your room? Video chat with them and I will release you from the dark era of the Internet."

    VexBox mainly on Kickstarter access the Internet through your teen that this set is a cube-shaped secondary router. It is controlled via a browser and full-speed, 56K, a customized set to speed Web connection without affecting the parent or fully closed can. Troubled teen internet before being freed from jail to complete homework or chores while the adults in their hearts' content can Facebook.
    A pilot project in teen tries 56K speed and declared, "It would make me really mad." At the age of broadband, dial-up speed of purgatory feel. Granted, even if you really want to work VexBox their young with unlimited smartphone data may be confiscated.

    , there are other ways. VexBox still looking for a simple solution throttling may appeal to parents. It also remind your teen of your power, ominously, a little like the Borg cube can sit there.

    With 30 days left to run, VexBox a goal by $ 50,000 in funding has attracted around $ 1,500. VexBox commitment to an early bird price of $ 39 (about £ 36, AU $ 49) is. Internet access irons tech-savvy youth inevitably find a way to move around, but at least their parents can make it inconvenient. Rocking a chore, homework, completing their social media superstar went crazy whether the child is another matter.
