Ta da. 🎉 You have a way to entertain your kids, a reason to take them to the library, and a way to control what they're watching.
This will work for maybe 2 years, until all the corporate kid shows lay off their writers and replace them with AI. And then those fill library shelves.
We still have around 80 years of media to go through 🥲
Why not get a dvd player? Simplify the whole setup, and I bet you’ll spend less money.
Whats the hdmi cable for
Hooking up the laptop to the TV. Gives it that authentic Saturday Morning Cartoon experience.
Are there no mobile apps available with human-curated collections of children's videos?
YouTube is not going to be a place where you're going to have any reliable quality control. It's literally (by design) videos uploaded by anyone on the Internet. That's not by itself a problem, but the idea that it's a good way to keep very small children entertained is definitely not one I would agree with.
Libby will let you check out library books with your local library card. But they've started trying to replace their remote librarians with chatbots.
Ok, books might not be what you want for children who can't read yet though. 😉
Did you know you can check out DVDs too? Some libraries will let you borrow digital movies too.
