[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can people not see how these apps make people more anxious, not less? We use these technologies and come to think they are necessary. Which leads to the feeling that situations aren't safe without the technologies. Which, ironically, makes us feel less safe (and in need of monitoring) in the world. Then what happens when DS leaves his phone in his school locker? You panic.[/quote] Recently went cold turkey and deleted FindFriends for this reason. I found I was constantly tracking my kids (now 16 and 18). It was not good for me or our relationships, especially my younger and more independent one. He was really resenting it. I won't lie, it's been a tough transition for me not being able to track their whereabouts at a moments notice - I've pretty much known where they were since we had baby monitors in their rooms. My husband has kept the app and can find them if needed - but he doesn't access it nearly as much as I did.[/quote]
