Lauren Nelson is the current Miss America. She is part of an initiative to launch a safe internet browser for children:

“…The browser permits access to 10,318 Web sites, all of which were pre-screened and determined to be kid-friendly by the Miss America Organization and the Children’s Educational Network, which developed the software for it. It has a feature enabling parents to lock the computer and prohibit Internet access with any other browser, and it lets parents add sites to the approved list.”

If you have a child who is going to use this, it would be helpful to receive some feedback from the intended demographic.
