Possible Future Video: Children's Tech

[Ryujin2003]

Big fan of LTT (obviously), and have been wanting to find some good video's on kids tech. I know Linus did that video for Amazon for the holidays, but would really be interested if he could do the same thing, but look at the stuff that's also geared towards children. I'm about the same age as Linus with an 8 year old, and really have a hard time with getting my son tech because I feel like VTec and the other companies make cool "techie" things for kids and completely skimp on the design and implementation of adequate security. Those VTech smart watches and cameras for kids are the first thing that come to mind.

 

When Amazon has their marketing for the holidays, some of the stuff they have good deals on is stuff my son is interested in, but finding reviews that I trust that discuss not only quality but SECURITY of these devices is really hard. I can find Sphero stuff out the wazoo, but anything is really hard to find..

 

Would it be possible for LTT to partner up with Amazon and try to do some of this stuff for the tech parents (and even those not techie) to help us find quality products for our children? Not saying to exploit your own kids, but I think children's tech doesn't get the coverage and attention it requires.

 

Just a thought. If this isn't possible, then maybe a tech quickie or other video about WHY children's tech doesn't seem to have the same security implementations as more adult oriented devices. I get that it's marketed as a toy, but there is no reason why a smart litterbox should have more security protocols that a device strapped to a kid that can be hacked and used to easily find the child's location.

 

If I'm not the only one interested, maybe some others can weigh in with their opinions as well.

 

Again, thanks in advance.
