How Close Are We?
Parental monitoring apps and devices (e.g., Life360, Bark, GPS trackers) are widely used to track children's locations and online activity. Content filtering is common on phones and computers, but direct neural filtering is not possible. Bio-monitoring wearables (Fitbit, Apple Watch) can track health data, but do not allow for real-time emotional or visual filtering. The episode exaggerates current trends, but the desire for parental control via technology is very real.
