What I find interesting about teens and tech is their repeated calls for parents to invest the time and learn about the technology their kids use and talk to them about the potential dangers involved. But tech makers (rfid tag makers in particular) and parents don’t seem to be listening.

With the advances in RFID tags, putting them into phones and clothes, makers and parents are adding yet another layer of technology to help protect the kids, but the kids will always find a workaround, like the kids in the talk pointed out.

Website filters create censorship and RFID tag reinforce the panopticon – media education in both parents and teens will go a lot further and benefit more (with the exception of the rfid tag makers, of course.)
