Kid Smartphone Gives Parents More Control
听力内容：
60秒科学节目（SSS）是科学美国人网站的一套广播栏目，英文名称：Scientific American – 60 Second Science,节目内容以科学报道为主，节目仅一分钟的时间，主要对当今的科学技术新发展作以简明、通俗的介绍，对于科学的发展如何影响人们的生活环境、健康状况及科学技术，提供了大量简明易懂的阐释。
Remember when kids wanted a pony? Today your tween wants a smartphone. You were hoping this conversation could wait until high school. But you’ve given in to your child’s contradictory pleas for both greater independence and more connectivity with friends.
A smartphone can make it easier to track your kid’s whereabouts. And it will introduce them to a technology they’ll need to learn eventually. Unfortunately, other people can also track your kids. And the technology can become a distraction or endanger their privacy.
So a company called KD Interactive is marketing a smartphone for youngsters that makes it easier for parents to set parental filters and strict guidelines for use.
The Kurio smartphone will let parents specify time slots when the phone can be used. It keeps a log of who your child is texting, chatting with and calling. You can also create a master list of approved apps the phone can download. And your kid can send you an SOS message by pressing the Kurio’s power button repeatedly.
You’ll be able to pony up for the smartphone starting this summer.
