The Atlantic’s December Cover: Sarah Zhang Reports on “The Geo-Located Generation”

In The Atlantic's December cover story, Sarah Zhang delves into the impact of constant surveillance on today's youth, dubbed the "Geo-Located Generation." She discusses how modern technology allows parents to track their children from birth through adulthood, using devices like the Snoo Smart Bassinet and AirTags, and apps like Find My Friends and Life 360. This constant monitoring not only heightens parental anxiety but also raises concerns about its long-term effects on children's autonomy and privacy, sparking a broader conversation about the balance between safety and personal freedom in the digital age.
