A wearable device that lets you track your kids everywhere?
It had to happen sooner or later – and in fact the technology was foreseen and sold via spam years before. I can see how it might be a comfort to parents but what will this technology and tools like it do to parents’ relationships with their kids? Pandora’s box is already open – tools like this are already being used to track mobiles and the new generation of mobile phones make such tracking much easier and more accurate.
To say that such tracking has to be consented to is not really that comforting as people like parents and employers have the power to strongly encourage or compel consent.
I suspect the only answer to such innovations is to make it difficult legally to use such information even with consent.
