    what do you mean by “it’s probably willingly”??

    I need clarification, but without it, any way I can interpret that as a is very superficial and probably a very unrealistic conception of what “today’s kids” need from/experience as life

      I mean there are reasons these services are used, like wanting to know how many steps we took, engaging with peers, know where other people are located etc. Not saying it’s all doom and gloom. Just observing that it used to be that you could go around walking, sleeping, shopping, socialising and watching movies without data being collected for every tiny life detail. It’s just different, that’s all. For younger people it’s normal, but for older people it feels… I dunno, like something has been lost that will never be gotten back.
