Such as...??  I'm sure no-one would complain about technology freeing them from having to wash the clothes by hand.  But the original post essentially concerned technology "freeing" parents from the responsibility of managing their children properly, and that's a different matter entirely.  What happens when the children "managed" using GPS technology instead of being taught how to look after themselves and act responsibly get older?
