This idea uses existing technologies, combined with a new innovation or two into one very nifty gadget.
1) A finger-print scanner in the mouse and keyboard.
2) Parental controls.
3) Electro-shock technology
You can set a different level of control for each person in the house (children,
spouse,
roommate, etc.). The fingerprint scanner automatically adjusts the controls each time a person touches the mouse or keyboard.
If somebody tries to access a restricted site by clicking on something, like a banner add, an e-mail from an unknown sender, or a nude picture, the mouse administers a mild electric shock. If the person tries to get around the blocks by typing a code (I don't know anything about hacking, forgive me if I sound naive) the keyboard administers a much stronger electric shock.
(edit: could also be programmed to automatically shut off the computer if anybody attempts to get around the controls)
The law defines deliberate electric shock as child abuse.

I choose not to shock my child thank you. (-) This idea would get my bun if it simply cut the power to the moniter which could only be turned on via parental code. |
|

That could be done, as well, Chef. The electro-shock is optional, of course, as is any form of parental control. I'll edit the post to add the power cut-off option. This idea was inspired by one of my co-workers complaining about her husband visiting porn sites.

The strength of the shock is adjustable, so you can select a lower setting for younger children, or use the shock-control only for certain individuals. |

Deliberately shocking a child with any amount of electricity will get you in jail just about anywhere in the western world. |

Tell that to my step-father! He used to shock me with a grill igniter just for the hell of it! It was all in good fun, and I shocked him back many times, and he never got arrested. This isn't something you just spring on your kids, you'd warn them first. A mild shock isn't in any way hazardous to a normal, healthy kid. They make joke laser pointers and lighters which you hand to somebody, and when they press the button they get a shock. They sell these in gas stations to anybody of any age. |

Yeah the whole shocking your kid thing is weird but I do like the fingerprint scanner in the mouse thing. |
|

So, this is an electroshock-based workaround for [21_Quest]'s friend's husband's inadequate understanding of his relationship?

X: Yes, it's OK, I've got a plan... |

It's not abuse if the kid knowingly does it to him/herself. You tell the kid/spouse "these are the kinds of content that are restricted. You will get shocked if you try to visit any sites with this kind of content."
|
|
| |
If somebody then gets shocked, it's just like sticking a screwdriver in a power socket when the parent's not looking. Hardly considered abuse on the part of the parent. |
|
| |
This is bad for the same reasons as any parental controls
system (teaching your kids you don't trust them and to
not trust you) but worse. |
