I see a legitimate business opportunity, a phone walking service. You collect the children's phones and take them to the mall, the library or wherever teenagers go these days, and meanwhile the kids can enjoy life without parental surveillance.
You do wonder what the 24-hour panopticon does to adolescents' mental health and to the health of the parent-child relationship.

- davidsong 9y agoHow about a USB OTG microphone, GPS and camera that tell a pack of lies, ideally implemented as an app on a second phone.
- ams6110 9y agoThat's how my friends and I grew up. You left the house --- you were just GONE --- until you came back. Short of hiring a private investigator, your parents really had no precise idea of what you were up to. Of course, they did tend to find out the important stuff anyway. The parent grapevine was definitely alive and well.
