What Constant Surveillance Is Doing to Children

And their parents. By Sarah Zhang

In The Atlantic’s December cover story, “The Geo-Located Generation,” staff writer Sarah Zhang explores how constant surveillance is stunting children and making parents paranoid. Parents today can functionally track their children 24/7 from the moment they’re born through adulthood, starting with products such as the Snoo Smart Bassinet and Apple’s AirTags sewn into toddler backpacks and moving to apps such as Find My Friends and Life 360. Zhang examines how this is affecting kids, and namely their resilience and independence––but also how it’s affecting their parents.
