[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I develop apps. I can tell you, with total certainty, that companies can harvest an astonishing amount of information from them. It is so easy to track all users and everything they do... and there is absolutely no oversight. It is the digital wild west and Silicon Valley execs are only too well aware.[/quote]

Makes sense. I was struck by the number of Silicon Valley execs who have gone to what I would consider extremes to keep their kids away from this type of technology.

I see it in my young child -- when she's playing with her regular toys (almost all of which have no electronic component, except for maybe something like a button you press to make a train go "choo choo, all aboard") she is generally happy, active, and engaged. If she gets hold of my phone (which I try to put on a high shelf when I get home), she turns into a little zombie who sits there staring at videos and freaks out when I take the phone away. I don't like what it does to her personality, which is why we do everything we can to strictly limit her interaction with it. [/quote]
