Facebook and Instagram make it possible to follow and connect with our “friends” any time of day or night, “Air tags” keep track of keys, cell phones and luggage. GPS instantly lets us know the “location” of middle and high school children experimenting with their independence. Doorbell cameras make it easy to avoid unwanted visitors and monitor our homes from anywhere and “Nanny Cams” provide peace of mind for working parents. Shared cell phone plans, e-mail and calendars keep families organized and informed.
