How to get rid of Inappropriate Ads During Family TV Time



How filtering TV ads can protect your children from underage drinking

Watching a football game on TV with your children can be a great family activity. However, live sporting events are rife with ads for alcohol and sex, like this racy Bud Light ad from Superbowl 41—not the most appropriate content for young eyes. And with studies showing that greater exposure to alcohol advertisements leads to increased underage drinking, it seems like the right time to have this conversation. Luckily, one company in Utah offers a solution.

Filtrie, a Salt Lake City-based software company, has developed a way for parents to filter out ads on television that they deem inappropriate for their children. This new technology gives individuals unprecedented control to cater the ads viewed in their homes to personal interests, beliefs, and lifestyles.



Filtrie’s revolutionary approach surveys how each individual’s household views ads. Instead of relying on out-of-date, door-to-door questioning to gather commercial data, Filtrie uses real-time algorithms to understand the target audience at any given time. In other words, the software knows if it’s just mom and dad watching their favorite late-night sitcom or if a child is present in the room—the ads will change accordingly.

Children are easily influenced by what they see on TV, and it’s not only alcohol ads that parents should be concerned about. A child’s exposure to junk food ads can mold unhealthy eating habits, and seeing an ad for lingerie might bring about questions meant for later years. Filtrie will empower parents to make these judgment calls with the click of a button. Best of all, Filtrie is a free, opt-in service that will be coming available in the next few months.

In the process of preparing a project, I can be in a hurry, especially if the deadlines are too tight. In this case, I try to use ready-made templates, for example, the presentation template that I used last time, you can check here https://www.pandadoc.com/project-scope-presentation-template/. This is convenient, and there is no need to rush, since everything is already ready.
