Would you exercise to earn TV time?
A new shoe has been invented that controls how much TV you watch.
It records the amount of exercise you do by counting the number of steps you've taken, and then converts them into the amount of television you can watch.
The gadget - called Square-eyes - is placed inside a shoe and records the amount of steps the wearer has taken during a single day.
The information is sent to a device connected to the TV, which calculates how long the child can switch on for.
The TV switches itself off as soon as the time earned runs out. The gadget was made by university students.
"Square-eyes will help children to include exercise in their daily routine from an early age," said one of the designers from west London's Brunel University.
Do you think this is a good way of getting kids to exercise? Would you get active for extra TV time?
Maybe you think it's a bit extreme and kids should be allowed to watch TV as much or as little as they want?
Whatever you think, let us know.

In my opinion , we should choose the TV programs and we don't allow the children to wath TV all the times and also it isn't suitable for the children to wath all the programs of TV.I think it is a good invention.

This new shoe records the amount of exercise we do. It is really attractive. I think this is a good way of getting kids to exercise. Some kids watch TV for along time and it occasion they don’t do their homework. Some of them even don’t eat any food and all day long they watch TV. I want those shoes for my sister, because sometimes she watches TV for along time.
