This is Your Life on Tech

REBOOT Chapter 2: Infancy


Listen Later

This week, the second of ten special podcasts corresponding to the chapters in Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World.

In this episode, author and psychologist Elaine Kasket talks with author and mum of two Stephanie V. about parental anxiety, high-tech monitoring and the digital divide of infancy; with Oxford Internet Institute director Professor Victoria Nash about what's drawing us to so intensively surveil our offspring; and with Professor Tama Leaver of Curtin University in Australia about what’s happening to all the data accumulated by ‘baby wearables.’

Have we come to think about tech-facilitated ‘surveillance parenting’ in infancy as simply good, responsible parenting? And, if so, what are the implications for both our children’s present and their future?
