Middle class parents are the ones slapping Gps trackers on their kids wrists. Poor kids are the lucky ones as they may not yet have a digital leash due to cost? I'm sure googles next academic intrusion will move from Chromebooks to smart watches for PE.
I seriously can't believe how common it is to see 9-y/os chatting on a voice call every 15 minutes with their parents. I'm on block a. I'm going to playground b. I'm with Johnny. JFC and their parents likely had exposure to "higher education".
Higher education =/= tech literacy, as any enterprise IT worker can tell you.
I imagine an image of the Teletubbies vacuum with a label on its nozzle reading 'apps', a label on its hose reading 'advertisers', and a third label on the tank that reads 'data brokers'.
