Regarding evidence, I am not aware of any research about any of this. You don't say. In other words you are making up and hallucinating these vague scenarios.

Regarding evidence, I am not aware of any research about any of this. You don't say. In other words you are making up and hallucinating these vague scenarios. You saying things like 'parents are creatures of habit' is not evidence that these made up things actually happen. This smart watch is being advertised for actual kids. 6-12 year olds. Do you actually think a 30 year old is going to keep using their toy watch for 20 years, stay on their parents phone plans and their parents are going to track their 30 year old child? If you ask 100 people if they think a child is going to keep their toy watch that is made for tracking kids for 20 years and let their parents track them decades into adulthood, they wouldn't just say no, they would look at you like you're speaking a different language. This has never happened and you aren't even close to showing this is something that happens normally because all you keep doing is repeating your claim without evidence.

Do you actually think a 30 year old is going to keep using their toy watch for 20 years, stay on their parents phone plans and their parents are going to track their 30 year old child? No. I was not discussing the watch. I made a comment specifically on your statement about whether a parent, which initially has used location tracking on a child, will keep doing so as the child has reached the age of 30. And my position is that yes, very many parents will do so if they don’t need to alter their habits significantly in order to keep doing it.

  You are using very combative and insulting language, which is not helping. No I'm not. This is something people do when they say things without evidence, they try to attack how the other person is pointing out they have no evidence. If you don't want to be told you're making things up, prove that you're not. You keep repeating the same claims and you haven't shown anything to support that. No. I was not discussing the watch. You might want to look at the title because that's what this thread is about. I made a comment specifically on your statement about whether a parent, which initially has used location tracking on a child, will keep doing so as the child has reached the age of 30. And my position is that yes, very many parents will do so if they don’t need to alter their habits significantly in order to keep doing it. You have definitely made the comment over and over, it's just that it's nonsense and you have zero evidence that it's true. Repeating yourself isn't evidence and rephrasing your claims isn't either. It doesn't even make sense. Why would someone become and adult and never get a new phone so they can keep using what they had when they turned 10 for multiple decades? Who has ever heard of this happening let alone enough that "very many parents do so"? This is not reality. This is like someone saying that bigfoot exists and when someone asks for evidence they just say "what I'm saying is that bigfoot exists".

    I maintain that your usage of the word “hallucinating”, “nonsense”, and associated language is combative and insulting. Of course, I have no proof whatsoever for this claim. > You might want to look at the title because that's what this thread is about. A thread very frequently strays in topic, and comments are not all strictly about the article’s headline. > It doesn't even make sense. Why would someone become and adult and never get a new phone My thinking was that parents would typically keep installing tracking software on the child’s phone whenever they get the opportunity to do so, provided they have acquired the habit of always doing that. It’s quite possible, of course, that, in practice, most adult children don’t have any tracking software on their phone, simply because they have gotten a new phone without the parents having access. > This is not reality. This is like someone saying that bigfoot exists and when someone asks for evidence they just say "what I'm saying is that bigfoot exists". We don’t have any hard evidence either way. I mean, either parents who track their children’s location do mostly stop doing that when the children become adults, or parents do try to keep tracking the kids as long as practically possible. Both are observable phenomena (unlike bigfoot, whose non-existence is not observable).

      A thread very frequently strays in topic, I think you mean that you started making outrageous claims that you can't back up. My thinking was that parents would typically keep installing tracking software on the child’s phone whenever they get the opportunity to do so, provided they have acquired the habit of always doing that. So in this made up scenario, a parent is stealing their 30 year old child's phone and installing tracking software on it? Where are you even getting these ideas? You keep repeating them, what even made you think this stuff in the first place? We don’t have any hard evidence either way. You're the one making the claim and you don't have any evidence at all, hard, or soft. You can't even explain how it would happen. I mean, either parents who track their children’s location do mostly stop doing that when the children become adults, Now the backpeddling finally begins because you keep replying without evidence. Both are observable phenomena So observe it and show me evidence. Here's some actual evidence. Most people replace their phone every 3.5 years on average. Not every 20 years while using the toy watch they got when they were 10. https://www.sellcell.com/blog/how-often-do-people-upgrade-their-phone-2023-statistics/ https://www.sellcell.com/blog/how-often-do-people-upgrade-th...
