This idea tackles a problem most young people know all too well: too much time glued to a screen. The idea is simple but firm. Every 15 minutes on a device, the device shuts itself down and forces you outside for 30 minutes, and if you don’t comply, it locks you out for a full week. It’s a bold, no-nonsense approach built on the belief that kids are spending far too much time on devices, at the cost of real-world interaction. The team also points out a nice side benefit: less screen time means lower electricity bills for parents too. Equal parts tough love and practical design.
