Google has cancelled its two unreleased tablet devices and won’t be pursuing the tablets segment any more. According to a Google spokesperson, ”For Google’s first-party hardware efforts, we’ll be focusing on Chrome OS laptops and will continue to support Pixel Slate.” Google had only one device under the Pixel branding, named as the Pixel Slate.
There is no clarity as to why exactly Google has discontinued the tablet line, but Computerworld clarifies that Google considers a tablet to be a device that detaches completely from a keyboard base or has no physical keyboard at all. The news regarding discontinuation of the tablets was revealed to the employees at an internal company meeting on Wednesday.
“Google is currently working to reassign employees who were focused on the abandoned projects onto other areas. Many of them, I’m told, have already shifted over to the laptop side of that same self-made hardware division.”
There are only two strong competitors Apple and Samsung in the table segment as of now, where the popularity of Apple might be the reason for discontinuing as well. Google still plans to offer support to the Pixel Slate till June 2024. The Chrome OS, on which the Pixel Slate and Pixelbook, will still remain in action and the team will continue software development for tablets and laptops so that other manufacturers can still use Chrome OS for their devices.
The focus of Google now shifts to laptops and we can expect a new successor to the Pixelbook. The Pixel phones will not be affected in any way in regard to this new change in the company.
“Behold the unparallel, the unprecedented, the amazing, THEEEE…. DUALLL CAMERAAA” the anchor screamed from his lungs and the brass speaker did its job.
Yes, it’s an article about the dual camera, the same dual-camera you have in your smartphone. Oh, you don’t, thank god. This might be a fun ride so stick with me, you may not find all the jokes worthwhile but trust me I tried my best to make this article as amusing as possible. But it’s actually not, it’s rather grave in nature and that’s the only reason I wrote these above four lines.
A history lesson that you don’t need
The dual camera revolution began when I and you were adults and had that resistive touch display. The first dual camera smartphone was HTC Evo 3D launched in 2011, some might argue that LG’s Optimus 3D was the first, but the EVO 3D made its hype in the tech market. Later, the dual camera tech was forgotten but when HTC introduced the HTC One M8 in March 2014, it blew everyone’s mind. And we started questioning if we really need this, will this dual-camera thing can save the smartphone’s camera future that was almost good. Not the best, but yeah, good.
The future of smartphone camera revolution, there were several articles about it, let me guess, you didn’t read it. That’s okay, nobody’s judging you. Point is, it has been 5 years since the dual camera tech began its journey. A round of applause, please. 👏
This journey has seen a lot of tech marvels and as technology got cheaper the dual camera made its way to the budget smartphone and it seems like the innovation has stopped. Why? Do you think there is no innovation in three cameras, four cameras, infinite camera and whatnot? I mean at some point it is but… I don’t know, I kind of have a disagreement here.
I don’t like budget dual camera anymore
Hmm… When HTC M8 launched the dual camera smartphone, it was meant for capturing portrait shots since the second camera was a depth sensor, it made sense. And compare to that timeline of smartphones it did capture some stunning portrait shots, with some good quality bokeh effects. But is it essential to put secondary hardware just for portrait shots? Why can’t we do that with software? Can we?
You see, the dual camera tech was introduced for that purpose, the quality to click better photographs. And it did well because, at the time, the software integration between Camera hardware and the smartphone was not that good, but let me tell you a secret. Today, it is.
Yeah, with today’s technology, software integration and the combination of AI, you can achieve that. So why aren’t manufactures opting for it? Don’t look at me, I don’t have the answer. There can only be two opinions, either manufacturers don’t have that kind of software optimization or they don’t want to.
Look its Google Pixel!
What Google has done with its flagship device Pixel is spectacular. I mean, that smartphone has single-handedly outperformed some of the top best flagship smartphones, including the iPhone Xs & Xs Max and whatever. And that smartphone has one camera lens, JUST ONE. How did they do that? Why can’t other manufacturers do that? Come on!
Don’t worry, I’m not going to the nuance technicality of Pixel’s hardware, software and machine learning integration. I just wanted to lambaste these so-called manufactures for making a goof of the audience. Because they are not concentrating on the software part of the smartphone and when you do that, you’re taking software for granted.
What is wrong with a budget dual camera?
First thing first, there is nothing wrong with dual-camera, I’m saying it’s superfluous to implement dual-camera just for the heck of it. Do you think I’m wrong? Just look at some of the budget dual-camera today, 48MP+5MP, 12MP+2MP, 13MP+2MP & 12MP+1.7MP, what are they trying to demonstrate? That they can implement dual-camera tech and keeps you up-to-date.
There is no significant perfection in terms of camera quality. Do you think just because of another lens your photographs will be better? If your answer is yes then evidently you don’t understand how the camera actually works. Photography doesn’t hinge on megapixels and lenses, there are other aspects that matter too. And one of that aspect is software and camera integration, something that Google has done much better than anyone.
It seems like the so-called budget manufacturers have given up, they’re like, “Hey bud, this is what we have and we can’t do any more than that.” I’m also not saying that they have completely forgotten the camera software. They are obviously doing something, things like Smart beauty, AI beauty, Spot removable, another beauty mode and makeup kits, yes, they are a kind of innovation, isn’t it?
Is it another delicious recipe?
Do you think so? Do you think the other camera lens is just another camera lens to lure you? Be your own judge. I honestly don’t care because I have a much better dual-camera. But jokes apart, if you think for a second there might be a shrewdly put strategy to make it look like you have made an ingenious purchase decision. You know why? Because that’s how they can make you believe that you’re having a real dual-camera experience in 2019. And surprisingly, you want that experience.
User these days are bound to technology, I and you are demanding more features in less amount and if this company is not giving you that experience, that company will. Yes, there is a competition, a competition to pitch the best deal possible to the user. Perhaps mimicking the premium smartphone experience is the new trend that everyone wants, and the reason is demand. I and you want that experience in less price, a few years ago the budget devices were made of plastic and we were okay with it but today that’s an endgame. We all want a smartphone that looks better, performs better and click better. Jokes on you Batman.
Okay, so the crux is, you can be any side of this spectrum, and no matter which side you pick, you’re far away from having a real dual-camera experience. And as technology gets older it gets cheaper. We might get a dual-camera in more smartphones, mayhap in cheaper devices. But will that experience will be THE EXPERIENCE? That’s still a question…
Also, if you have any suggestion or question please do drop them in the comment section below. That was my time.

We’re adding a colour adjustable front light so customers can read with a warmer tone that’s customizable to their preference to easily transition from daytime to nighttime reading. Kindle is designed to create a sanctuary reading experience, and the all-new Kindle Oasis exemplifies this—whether you’re reading poolside on vacation or in in the comfort of your bed.”

It features a 7 inch 300ppi E Ink display with the same design and only two colour options- Graphite and Gold. It is an IPX8 waterproof device which can handle 2 meters of wet stuff for 60 minutes at a time like splashes of water.
The Kindle Oasis is available for pre-order on Amazon’s website, but it won’t be available until 24th July. The new Kindle Oasis costs $249.99 for the 8GB variant and $279.99 for the 32GB variant.

It would be really good if engineering would have been only about practical stuff, like invention, experiments and breakthrough moments. Fortunately or unfortunately, you have to do lots of paperwork during your education to become an engineer and continue with your career, one of the basics of that paperwork is writing engineering lab reports. No matter the field of your study, if you want to become an engineer, you have to learn how to write good lab reports and you need to do it as fast and as efficiently as you can. So, let’s get straight to business.
Lab report reflects what you have done during the experiment and what you have learned doing it. Don’t read too much into it, the report is exactly what you think it is — brief and easy to understand, well-structured paper on some details around your experiment. You need to make people who read your lab report understand:
What you wanted to do and what you wanted to achieve, check, by doing it;
How you did it;
What you achieved;
What the significance of your achievement is.
Here, you won’t find some abstract tips and explanations on how important it is to write a lab report and how professors like reports to be clear and simple. We will look through every part of the lab report, so you can write it just while reading this article abstract after abstract.
No need to be extra creative here. Just write what was happening. “Measurement of the…” If after finishing your lab report you have some extra time to think about better, more catchy title — do it, but for now just write it as clear and simple as you can.
State in one, maximum (!) two sentences what your goal is. If you need more than two sentences to state the aim of your engineering lab report, something is truly wrong with the aim.
Introduction / Background. Several sentences on how you have come to the idea of doing this experiment, why it is important, which similar experiments were held before, etc. Make sure to write the way your readers understand the importance of what you are trying to do here. Don’t be too dry, though, of course, remember that it is a scientific paper.
Describe the methodology used in the experiment. You can also add several sentences on why you’ve chosen these methods exactly for your laboratory work and what are the limitations of those methods.
Results and Discussion. Normally, the discussion includes hypothesis, and the results are revealed in more details here. Still, keep it brief, it is not a research paper.
Conclusions. Unlike in research papers and essays, in conclusion of a lab report you can go back in time and talk not about the final result, but also add some information about equipment and the process.
References. Don’t forget to use APA, MLA or any other required guide when writing this section. In-text citations and bibliography entries are not easy to craft when it comes to writing a lab report, all those pictures and graphs, so be extra attentive.
Appendices. Here, you add all those graphs and tables, which you describe above. Not every lab report have appendices, so if you have nothing to add, just skip this section.
You are not alone in your lab report writing struggle, and not every great engineer will ever become a good writer, so if you need some extra help, you can always pay someone at WriteMyPaperHub to have your lab report written for you. All you need is to share information about your experiment and they will help you out.

Music plays a pretty important role in most people’s lives, whether it’s played in the car to liven up a boring commute, as a motivator during a workout, or at home for sheer fun and relaxation.
These days there’s a great alternative to bulky speakers with their wires and fixed positions – and this miracle product is the Bluetooth speaker. They are generally smaller, much more convenient as they can be moved around as and when you choose, and they are generally much more affordable than traditional speakers are. (For more detailed hints and tips take a look at this article on the best Bluetooth speakers in India.)
How to find the best Bluetooth speakers for your home
This may seem a bit of an overwhelming task, but it isn’t actually that difficult if you take note of these handy tips.
Tip 1 – Consider the range
Don’t make a costly mistake by buying Bluetooth speakers with an inadequate range. Look for a range of at least 30 feet to be sure you will be satisfied, or more if your circumstances make it necessary. If possible test it out before you buy.
Tip 2 – Buy a speaker with two drivers
If your Bluetooth speaker only has one driver you probably won’t be able to enjoy the stereo sound you’d like, so look for speakers with two drivers to make sure this won’t be an issue.
Tip 3 – Don’t be misled by the numbers
You will come across numbers like version 2.1 or version 4.0, but do you understand what they really mean? It would be natural to assume that the higher number means it’s a newer version and therefore a better buy, but that’s not really the case.
In fact, these different numbers refer more to purposes than abilities. For example, a Bluetooth fitness tracking device needs to collect a lot of data on everything from how long you sleep to how many steps you take a day. Therefore it needs to use version 4.0 for the larger storage space. Speakers, on the other hand, don’t need that, so they work fine with version 2.1. You can buy either version and feel confident that your speakers will work as intended.
Tip 4 – Consider charging options
If you have the opportunity it’s worth buying a Bluetooth speaker which also had battery capacity, as this free you to take it out into the yard, the park, the car, to a friend’s house, or when you go camping really easily. When using the Bluetooth at home you may prefer to power it via a standard electrical socket or be happy to use a USB cable and charge it from your computer. Whichever method you choose, be realistic about which is most convenient for you the majority of the time.
Tip 5 – Check the sound quality
Let’s face it, if the speaker’s sound quality is poor then you are stuck with a substandard product, so you should always check this out before buying. Never assume that by simply paying more for a Bluetooth speaker that the sound quality will automatically be great, as it doesn’t tend to work like that.
To optimize each of your landing pages, you need to understand e-commerce growth, marketing and sales funnel. Sure, there’s always advertising, but optimization is quite complicated when attempting to acquire customers.
Suppose your brand – complete with its state-of-the-art, heavily funded digital marketing strategies and campaigns – generates 10,000 visitors every month. Your brand’s conversion rate is 1.2%, which means you’re converting 120 leads to customers every month.
Take a novice competitor in the business, which generates half of the traffic per month, say 5,000 visitors, but has a 3% conversion rate. It means that this brand is generating 150 sales per month, which as opposed to your 120, seem like not a big difference.
With half of the traffic as compared to yours, your competitor has managed to generate a higher conversion rate. What do you think is better and successful – 10,000 visitors and 120 sales or 5,000 visitors and 150 sales per month?
Converting visitors into leads and consequent sales denote the success of the brand – despite having solid traffic numbers; your brand is facing a significant dilemma with its conversion rate, ROI, and revenue.
Obtaining traffic towards your website is a great place to start. How on earth are you going to convert your leads if you didn’t have any visitors?
The success equation is already in gear with your on-going webpage traffic, but to convert more numbers into promising, loyal, and returning sales, you’d have to optimize your webpage for conversions. The LIFT Model for Conversion Optimization helps to evaluate each stage of your conversion path so that you can improve and optimize your website accordingly.
6 Ways to Optimize Brand Conversions
Demonstrate Your Offer through Visual Content
Focus on different types of content and take a break from showcasing simple, text-based, bookish novellas. An online, visually appealing ad can convert at least 80% of consumers towards sales.
With 78% of the internet users crowding YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, and other resources of audiovisual content every week, we believe you should give video marketing a chance and optimize it thoroughly for better conversion results.
Target the e-commerce funnel that’s doesn’t convert your leads
Focus the story of your video’s content on the part of the e-commerce funnel that will help motivate people towards the next step. Try focusing on the ‘Intent’ and ‘Decision’ stages of the funnel so that your leads can move towards the Conversion stage with evidence to track.
Add a video showcasing a testimonial or a tutorial
Create how-to content so that your consumers find it interesting, useful, and helpful. Try going for animated or live video additions and present them on social media or on your landing webpages to showcase your brand’s ingenuity and identity.
Social listening tools can also help you understand the analytics of your website’s performance by giving you a deep insight into various metrics that are ideal for helping you optimize your website conversion rate and brand’s ROI.
2. Optimize Webpages for Your Target Audience
Without creating significant awareness on social media or search engines via PPC ads or SEO strategies, your brand wouldn’t have generated the total number of visitors or sessions it currently has. While putting a website out there has its perks, you must realize that everything – from marketing your SEO to paying for your ads on Facebook or Google – is costing you an investment.
You must make sure website visitors stay and make a purchase. Try to understand your target audience and go where they are.
Let’s face it, consumers can get the same product or service at any given competitive brand. So it’s important to develop your consumer market.
Generate buyer personas of each visitor so that you can market relevant products or services to pique their interest.
Understand that each webpage will have a different number and type of audience, especially if you’re a retail store, enterprise, or global franchise.
Try to highlight products that best target and describe a customer’s needs.
3. Simplify the Conversion Process for Your Users
Introduce a mobile-friendly navigation option
Make sure that your content is reachable for a variety of users. Not everyone has a desktop or laptop where they can instantly log in to your web server for making a purchase. Since content is on-the-go, it’s better to simplify and expedite the conversion process by implementing mobile-friendly versions for users.
Offer conversions in a two-way process
Identify your visitors by helping them out throughout the funnel with the help of the following two-way conversion process.
Do your visitors wish to know more about the company before going further? Offer them a consultancy with the help of either live chat or AI monitored chatbots. Look at how Swell optimizes its post-click landing page.
Do they want to know about your sales and wish to receive alerts about them? Offer a form upon entering so that they can sign up for your newsletter, freebies or other related alerts. Here’s a sample sign-up form to get started.
4. Optimize Your Landing Page with SEO
SEO plays a significant role in ranking your website or chosen landing pages on Google. From increasing the number of landing pages to making sure that each is optimized to provide value to your visitors, cater to the following two options:
Increase the number of raw landing pages
You wish to maximize the performance of your landing pages, but at the same time, you wish you had more webpages to help you scale your growth. According to a recent study, it was concluded that there was a 55% increase in lead generation for companies that added just five more pages to a pre-existing number of 10 landing pages on a parent website.
5. Optimize each landing page
Make sure you add target-specific long-tail keywords to each landing page in addition to focusing on the optimization of individual elements. Optimize your titles, headlines, and descriptions with keyword-rich content so that Google can adhere to its viability and rank it higher according to increasing demand.
Always remember! The more highly optimized your website’s layout, headlines and content are, the higher the conversion rate of your brand.
Optimize Your Conversion Path
First, make use of metrics that help you analyze the number and type of visitors on each landing page. Secondly, try to understand why a specific landing page is ‘failing’ to promote visitors to leads and leads to conversions in the following stages. Try to connect with your audience by asking them to complete surveys regarding your brand’s improvement.
Experts from CRO agency conversionrate.store claim there is a necessity to optimize your conversion path at each step so that each landing webpage has value to offer to your consumers. Consider the following steps:
Add CTAs where needed. Experiment with different content forms apart from the text. For instance, add gif, video-animated content, or infographics to provide appeal at every step. Here’s a glimpse into CrazyEgg’s compelling CTA:
Analyze your content for broken inbound links and replace them with backlinks that help redirect your audience
Pay attention to the date of publication and update any outdated content with new researches or information that’s highly valuable
6. Optimize Your Marketing Copy
In addition to focusing on the words on your landing pages, try to dive deeper into the content form and its context. Blog as much as you can. It is visible from the statistics below.
Pay Attention to your SEO
Align your keyword strategy with your topic selection before writing any type of content on your webpages. Use a conversational and informal tone where required, or a direct sales pitch to target the market with an underhanded approach.
Issue A/B Testing
Pay attention to the framework and layout of your content and align it with your keyword density so that you subtly add keywords without suffocating the entire length. Issue A/B testing of your site’s performance by making use of metrics derived with the help of social listening tools such as Google Analytics for optimum optimization.

Over the past few years diffusion of photovoltaics, understood to be a clean and basically free energy production system, has spread widely and widely.
The growing awareness of the benefits that can be ensured by this technology continues to encourage more families and companies to choose to install photovoltaic systems to meet energy needs, in terms of respect for themselves and the environment.
After installation, the photovoltaic system still requires periodic revisions (scheduled maintenance) and this is to maximize electricity production for 25/30 years of service life.
But what is the maintenance of a photovoltaic system?
In a growing sector, such as renewable energy, only experienced and trained operators can guarantee the certainty of results and work carried out in accordance with the rules of art. Today, then, we want to discuss the O & M (Operation and Maintenance) problem of a photovoltaic system, consisting of what time and why it is very important.
The importance of signing a contract that covers plant maintenance
The importance of maintaining a photovoltaic system. Photovoltaic systems are, in essence, industrial plants and, therefore, require both “scheduled maintenance” (on schedule) and, especially for medium and large-sized plants, from “preventive” maintenance.
Scheduled maintenance activities are a kind of “service coupon” and involve the implementation of a series of standard and sequential checks on each component of the installation and on the installation as a whole. Questions that must be answered by scheduled maintenance interventions are as follows: Does the system function properly and produce electricity as expected?
On the other hand, preventive maintenance must be able to predict every degradation situation and damage that can affect factory productivity, with periodic checks going beyond mere scheduled maintenance. Preventing is always better than cure. But for certain parts, corrective maintenance is able to provide sufficient protection.
Therefore, it is very important that the factory supply/installation contract, which is determined by the supplier, also provides adequate after-sales assistance and this is to “maintain” the investment made.
The main objective of adequate O & M services must be to exclude each shutdown and reduce as much time as possible where the factory does not produce what it can do.
What are the main problems that our photovoltaic system can cause?
Some problems that can arise in our factory are related to the poor quality of the components and materials used, which do not meet the best quality standards.
The main components, such as modules and inverters, if the quality is low, decreases faster and is more likely to experience obsolescence, decreased performance, damage and/or damage.
Furthermore, troublesome problems can occur due to incorrect system installation. Incorrect analysis of the condition/characteristics of the location (land, roof, etc.) Or busy installing installations, without careful prevention analysis, can cause errors that then require retrofit/improvement interventions to respect project choices.
This criticality significantly affects the productivity of the photovoltaic system and does not always find a solution with the intervention of the installer. It is therefore easy to understand the importance of good O & M services, which also include the CMMS used, which is offered by skilled and qualified sector operators.
What maintenance services should a good operator offer to their customers?
Companies that supply photovoltaic systems must always be able to offer complete O & M services.
This is because the return on investment in the case of a photovoltaic system depends entirely on its productivity. Therefore, the operator must ensure that the generator always produces the best of its capabilities.
In this case, the most important phase is the initial design of the plant, which must be done in a way that is like a worker, with a careful eye also on plant management and maintenance throughout the entire life cycle.
SurveyJunkie is a popular online survey taking a platform that pays for surveys to be completed by its users. With a low $10 cashout, some users prefer this platform to some of the other survey sites. Surveys can be an easy way to generate money since most surveys will take around ten minutes or less to complete. Just how much can you make with SurveyJunkie? While there are many SurveyJunkie reviews available, in this article we’ll be discussing one thing everyone wants to know: how much it pays.
Surveys
As mentioned, SurveyJunkie is a survey-taking platform. You’ll be granted access to several surveys per day, which you will complete and receive compensation for. This site’s surveys are used by vendors all over the country to better learn about their customers’ buying habits and preferences.
So not only are you generating money by completing these surveys, but you’re also adding to the greater good by providing information that can make for better business practices. While you certainly won’t amass a fortune by taking online surveys, the value of this information goes beyond just earning a few extra dollars.
The best part about completing surveys is that they’re simple. Surveys are usually very straightforward and can be completed while you’re watching your evening TV programs or making dinner for the family. There’s no complex information to understand, just simple answers to basic questions.
How Does It Pay?
For each survey that you successfully complete, you’ll receive rewards points that you can later exchange for gift cards or cash payment via PayPal. The payment structure of these points is pretty similar to other sites, with one point being equivalent to about 1 cent USD. That means 100 points will be worth $1, 1,000 points are worth $10, and so on.
Surveys can range in value from just a few points to over 200, depending on the length of the survey and the content within. The trick to maximizing your payouts is picking the right surveys to do. It’s very possible that you’ll be offered two different surveys for the same price, but one takes twice as long to complete.
Choosing the survey that takes the least amount of time to complete for the most payout ensures that you’re being efficient. Efficiency always means greater profits, so keep your efforts focused and be sure to choose the right surveys to complete.
How Often Can I Make Money?
SurveyJunkie separates itself from the competition by providing multiple survey opportunities per day. Some sites only offer surveys a few times a week or per month, or even as little as once per month. SurveyJunkie offers the most surveys per day, making it more lucrative than some other survey sites.
You don’t have to complete all of the surveys you’re offered, either. The more you complete, however, the more offers you’ll get for longer and more valuable surveys. You can easily make time to complete a few short surveys throughout the day so you can unlock more profitable ones.
You’ll be emailed when your new survey offers are available, so be sure to check your email or turn on notifications so you never miss an opportunity.
Survey Junkie’s Age Limit Sets It Apart
While many survey sites require its users to be 18 years of age or older, SurveyJunkie only requires that users be 13 years of age minimum. This makes SurveyJunkie a great resource for teens and adults alike looking to generate simple income.
So, How Much Can I Really Make?
How much you make on SurveyJunkie depends largely on how many surveys you’re willing to complete every day. Since you’ll be getting daily survey offers, there is a lot of potential for earnings if you make time to complete the work.
Since the points system is equal to around 1 cent per point, you’ll need to accumulate 1,000 points before you can cash out. This will require quite a few surveys, but if you get access to longer surveys, you can reach that 1,000 point benchmark much quicker.
Let’s say you do three or four surveys per day, at around 50 points per survey. That would be almost $2 per day, or $14 per week, an extra $56 per month. That’s a low estimate, of course, as you can always do more or fewer surveys or get access to more lucrative ones.
Is It Secure?
SurveyJunkie is secure to use, and your information won’t be shared or sold to third parties. The site doesn’t deal with any of your banking information since the payments are sent via PayPal. You can be certain that any information you provide is secure and confidential.
Is It Worth It?
If you’re willing to set aside some time every day to fill out surveys for cash or gift card rewards, SurveyJunkie is definitely worth the effort. The simple payment structure, multiple daily survey opportunities, and the overall ease of the work itself makes using SurveyJunkie one of the simplest ways to earn extra money online.
Whether you’re looking to add a little extra spending money to your checking account every month, or just want to generate a secondary income stream, SurveyJunkie can help fill that gap with easy work and quick payouts. Maybe you’d rather earn gift cards? That option is available as well. Next time you need some quick cash, try SurveyJunkie for free.
Parenting has never been easier. In fact, some even go on to say that it has become more difficult with time. As we have entered into the new technological world, we come to realize that even parenting has become digital. The need to protect children online by using parental control apps has increased tenfold.
Technology is progressing in such a rapid pace that it has become challenging for parents to keep up. With new technologies and different challenges on the rise all the time, parents are struggling hard to understand and tackle them.
Protecting children from online dangers lurking on the internet, especially social media platforms, has become a priority for parents. There is no way parents can be lenient with regards to their children spending time on the internet. Monitoring their online activity around the clock is essential because you cannot afford them to be on their own on the internet.
Just like parents are worried about what their children do in real life, how they behave in school or at home, similarly, parents should be equally concerned about what they do on the internet.
Fortunately, we have some excellent tools in the form of parental control apps that help us monitor our children’s online activity to ensure they stay safe on the internet. Many parents still are not aware of how these parental control tools work and what benefits can be derived from using them.
In this post, we will be giving an insight to some of the plus points of using parental control apps and how they can be beneficial to most parents especially in regard to their children’s online safety.
Benefits of Using Parental Control Apps
If we draw a comparison between the pros and cons of using parental control apps, we will be amazed to know that the weight of pros is much greater than the cons. So, let us explore the benefits of using parental control apps.
Protect Kids from Inappropriate Content
The truth is that inappropriate content is widely distributed on the internet and can be found anywhere just with the single press of a button or a single click. Children get exposed to adult content online either by an accident or on purpose, and parents feel helpless to keep them away from it.
There is nothing much a parent can do when their child is playing a video online and a pop-up ad featuring explicit content appears in front of their computer/mobile screen. Not only the child will become embarrassed and shocked at the visuals but it will also cause a lot of disturbance to parents.
Parents who do not openly talk about porn with their children feel helpless when their children come across and find all about pornography and sex education on their own. If parents talk about porn with their children on time, children would not be much curious to learn about it by themselves.
Parental control software is the only means to manage and take control of the content that children are exposed to on their digital devices. With parental control apps set in place, children won’t be able to access and view a wide variety of adult content that parents deem inappropriate for them.
Instill Ability to Fight Against Cyberbullying
One of the largest online threats that children are exposed to on the internet is cyberbullying. Gone are the days when bullying only took place in schools or at homes. With easy access to the internet and digital devices, it has become easier for people to bully another person just by sending a rude/mean/threatening/embarrassing message online.
Cyberbullying is a huge online threat and has become a growing concern for most families today. While traditional bullying has always remained an issue, the advent of cell phones and the internet has turned it into cyberbullying and made it even worse.
Children are more vulnerable to abuse and bullying through text messaging and social media platforms. A parental control app lets parents see what sort of messages their children are getting on their mobile phones and instant chat messengers as well as who is trying to get in touch with them through phone calls, text messages, and emails.
Increase Familiarity with the Internet
Another major benefit of deploying and using a parental control solution on your child’s device is that it allows parents to increase their familiarity with the digital world. There are many parents who still are not aware of the online world and what sort of activities take place there.
While the majority of parents have and use their own digital devices (mobile phones, tablets, and computers), they may not be comfortable getting hands on their children’s phones and navigating the numerous apps and sites their children use.
When parents take control of their children’s device, they not only increase their familiarity with the internet but also get a greater understanding of what apps and sites their children are using and how they are using them. They can also find out how much time their children are spending on a particular app or site.
Develop a Stronger Bond with Children
It may be a bit hard to believe but using a parental control app can essentially help parents develop a stronger bond with their children. These apps can help them strengthen the connection that they have with their children.
A huge amount of trust can be developed when children prove that they’re acting responsibly on the internet by following all the rules and guidelines that have been set for them using parental controls. When parents tell their children about the good and bad side of the internet, it would be easier for children to understand what’s best for them and what’s not.
Children may also come to understand that their devices are being monitored by parental control apps because their parents only want best for them on the internet. They would understand why it is so essential for their parents to protect them from the online dangers posed by the internet.
Have a Greater Peace of Mind
Last but not least, parents can have greater peace of mind with a reliable parental control solution being set up on their child’s device. With a professional parental control app deployed on their child’s device, parents can feel more relaxed knowing that their children are safe on the internet while using their cell phones and they can also keep tabs on their location.
Protecting children from the online dangers and shielding them from any harm comes off as a natural instinct for parents. In today’s digital world, having the ability to manage and control what sort of content their children can have access to on the internet comes across as a blessing in disguise.
In fact, a parental control app is a relief for parents who are constantly stressing out about their children’s safety and well-being on the internet. Using a parental control solution is arguably the best way to keep tabs on your child’s online activity and at the same time do not feel upset over giving them their own phone.
