In the past kids were able to go outside and go on adventures with there friends and would have freedom to do what they liked. Parents were not really worried and told them just to be home before the street lights went on. In the present day this has changed because of an invention that helps keep parents a little more at ease. "A smartwatch marketed to parents of children as young as 3 as a safety tool, which allows parents to track their children using GPS." This is a smart idea because you are able to keep on eye on where your children are. But this can also limit what the children are able to do. As a kid you learn from experiences and that is how you mature. A good thing about these GPS inventions is that some have a built in mic to communicate to there parents if they need help.
