​KT launches NB-IoT-based child monitoring service | ZDNet

Technology can help or hinder. There's a growing evidence base indicating that overprotective parenting is leading to decreased ability for young adults to manage risk or respond to uncertainty in an inherently chaotic and increasingly fast paced world (and as a result, the pushback against protective playgrounds which sanitise  risk is also growing e.g. https://rob.al/2GxVYIF), so I'm interested when I see vendors offer technology which panders to what many consider to be moral panic; overall, I worry that applying technology in this way elevates fears, rather than reducing them.
