Our world has shrunk; this digital age affords us knowledge at our fingertips. One is always connected to the world. A few hours offline feels like an eternity. In this fast moving internet world, the hazards and addictions of being connected cannot be understated. Children and young adults are most at risk. Recent studies at the Boston institute of Technology have concluded that children are becoming net literate at an early age. The same study has also warned that people spend an alarming 400 percent time more online, compared to a decade ago. With such alarming statistics, parents have a very real and valid concern about what their wards are accessing. This is where Vimana comes in.

It is not about knowing the latest Internet or technology fads. This device is an enabler for better parenting. It allows parents to set boundaries in the digital world.
