I bet you're familiar with Life360. It's come up in my class on "our complex relationships with technology" and it's pretty much uniformly hated by students (all first-years, BTW). The interactions that students have with their parents about Life360 are quite interesting, actually. Parent who think they're helping their young adult kids with Life360 are deluding themselves, I think. Many students in my classes choose to "have the conversation" with their parental units in the first year of college, and it's not just because of the topics in my seminar. I think it's a general thing.
The flashback was perfect, and the fact that Stamper even says she would have had a problem with it as a teenager is a good allusion. Kind of like, well, if you hated it as a teenager, then why should it be any different as an adult?
Not to get off on a tangent, but regarding the tracking apps, both my kids have monitoring software on their phones. They know, and we don't restrict anything. It alerts us to things like conversations about suicide or if someone were to send them adult photos. It's not so much about leashing them as it is about protecting them. It's reactionary.
That doesn't replace active parenting, where we engage them in activities and conversations. Both are required.
