Hi-tech shoes are a TV turn-off

Here's the perfect device for the parent who has relinquished parenting in favour of career and leisure, but still has a vague notion that TV is fucking the kiddies' consciousness:

"It could be the ultimate incentive to get kids exercising - a shoe that controls the amount of TV they watch.

"The shoe -- dubbed Square-eyes -- has a unique insole that records the amount of exercise a child does and converts it into television watching time.

"One button on the shoe -- the brainchild of a student at west London's Brunel University -- records the number of steps taken by the child over the day.

"Another transmits this information to a base station connected to the TV."
