TV Babysitter Can Be Laid Off
In Sunnyvale California Barry Johnson and his wife Jean use a cardboard bird device as a TV watchbird to limit their daughter Christine's viewing. Each half hour logged reduces her weekly quota to under 10 hours, steering the family toward more outdoor and activity time. The system cut the girl’s screen time from over 20 hours weekly and spurred her to join Little League and Brownie activities. The bird, designed by San Jose artist Mike Lee, sells for $1.30 via mail order with George Coakley assisting promotion.
