On the topic of Wi-Fi: then your kids must never grow up.
Let’s say there’s Mom, Dad, and two kids. Mom is watching her favorite soap opera streamed on the TV, Dad is browsing the internet (including YouTube) looking for instructions to fix the troublesome washing machine. Junior, who just turned 16, is gaming online on the PlayStation with friends, meanwhile running a group voice chat on his phone. The daughter, only 12 years old, is browsing YouTube and Instagram, all in HD of course. Her friend is sitting next to her on their phone, fully engaged.
Show me a Wi-Fi channel that wouldn’t collapse under all that traffic. Exactly for situations like this, you need one or another wired connection. The console and TV can reduce their bandwidth demand on the Wi-Fi by using Ethernet cables, freeing up space to supply the mobile devices with enough speed.
If, like Nordlys for example, you mostly have peace and quiet from the youth, then Wi-Fi alone is generally sufficient. But with kids around, it becomes a tricky issue, and it doesn’t take long for them to start blaming each other for slow internet.

Steffen8024 Aug 2018 15:51That’s totally exaggerated... in the past, children listened to CDs... earlier cassettes, and today it’s Tonibox... my goodness, what’s wrong with that? I can understand criticism of an iPad at a young age much more clearly!

Knallkörper24 Aug 2018 16:23Sure. However, what is implied here or even explicitly stated is not acceptable for my standards:
1. Leaving babies or very young children alone with the sound box
2. Audiobooks for falling asleep
3. Playing sounds to pacify them
This is, of course, just my personal opinion. While it may be exemplary, there have to be bad parents as well.

Almost immediately. As a baby, you quickly changed the lullaby music (unless you use it with the baby monitor). After that, the kids quickly figure out how to operate the device. A friend’s daughter has been using it since she could sit up. She then plays her children’s songs.
Children’s headphones as well...C
chand198624 Aug 2018 16:33Hmm. When I was little (definitely older than two, I do remember), I wanted to fall asleep listening to Bibi Blocksberg. Constantly. No reading aloud. It came from a Discman with headphones, and I was only allowed to play exactly one episode.
Why any other device is considered worse now, I don’t know. I could also operate the Discman myself. It was limited, and when it was over, it was done.
If these devices don’t have the same limitation, it’s not the devices’ fault... That an inventor makes a lot of money from it: fair enough!

I don’t understand why processes like coffee making, which can be consciously used to slow down the hectic everyday life, should be optimized with computer assistance.
Let me know if I start to sound like Karsten...You could use the time you save to paint a mandala.
