Instead of getting baby gates to stop my kid going places she shouldn't, i'm wondering instead about hacking one of those electrified dog collar things they have, which use proximal virtual fields that zap when the dog goes near something it shouldn't.
it could be so much more modular. no clumsy and inconvenient gates.
Anything that's a gold mine to a curious child - cupboards filled with cleaning products or fragile glassware, ovens, back of the computer desk, toilet, front door - just, fucking everywhere. Set up points and *schhhrt!* an electric shock every time she strays where she shouldn'ta. "Not there, my dear - Remember, electro-God's watching".
- Using a water spray bottle when she approaches the no-go areas seems like a more humane alternative.deadsperm
