Google's made a smartwatch for kids - the Fitbit Ace. There's cute little animations and games that try and get kids more physically active, as well as the ability for parents to "see their child's real-time location, call, send and receive text and voice messages, add contacts they trust, and manage settings like School Time to eliminate distractions during class". They're gonna add "Tap to Pay" soon too. I would never even dream of strapping a GPS receiver and LTE modem to a kid's wrist and burden them with adult nonsense like "smartwatches", but that's just me. Looks to be US only for now. How much thought to the BOSE and eSafety Commissioner do you reckon Google gave during the development of this product?
