Awareness of the Challenges
As a society, we’re experiencing an increased awareness about the dangers of kids and devices—and those dangers are not limited to content issues like pornography and violence. On top of those obvious risks, today’s youth are faced with a litany of other challenges that simply didn’t exist a few years ago.
For example, predators most frequently use social media as a means of identifying and grooming unsuspecting kids. Bullying now happens online and is magnified in both impact and scope. Because of intense and constant comparison culture, childhood stress, anxiety and depression begin with social media. Some studies show that rampant screen addiction has our kids in front of devices for up to nine hours a day.
Every child has unlimited potential to learn, do and become anything. What a tragedy if that potential gets robbed by dangers lurking under our noses and at our children’s fingertips.
Choosing Optimism Over Fear
At Troomi, our vision sees beyond the fear inherent in these dangers. With dogged hope and optimism for the potential of every child, we focus our energy on finding better ways to introduce technology to kids. We believe ours is a movement that will help millions of kids achieve their dreams and live happy, healthy and balanced lives.
A phone that grows with your child!
To provide a technology environment in which kids can thrive, we spent a year developing KidSmart OS™, an Android-based operating system that empowers parents with an extremely easy, powerful and flexible set of parental controls—all while eliminating social media, harmful games, pornography and incoming access for predators and bullies.
Imagine starting younger kids with a very limited phone experience that consists of talk and text only —but with ZERO spam calls and spam messages—while providing the flexibility necessary to graduate children from one level of responsibility to the next based on needs and maturity. That’s what we have created—a phone that grows with your child without having to replace hardware.
Safety is just the starting point!
Should a phone for kids be safe? Of course—as a society, we know that now. But some solutions aimed at keeping kids safe are so locked down that they’re impractical for families or quickly resented and outgrown by the young people they intend to serve.
At Troomi, we take a different approach.
Our mission is to provide kids with guardrails for safety and opportunities for growth, learning, personal discovery and preparation for the future. We do this by creating solutions that empower children to pursue their dreams vigorously through a safe, balanced relationship with technology.
We invite you to join us in that mission!
