So you had to wait a little extra for the benefit of a society where children aren't always on a screen?

Seems like a good trade to me.

To me it seems such a dystopian thing to inflict upon ones kids. All day long being monitored by a spyware spreading company, just for some small convenience and probable impacting their ability to clearly communicate where they are or will be waiting. Maybe this kind of thing is the reason why so many people are unable to make an appointment and stick to the terms agreed upon when making the appointment.

You are describing a minor inconvenience right?

The world is still better with smart phones and not having that inconvenience.

Now there are other downsides of smartphones. We do need to mitigate them. However lets not throw out the good just because of the bad.

I don't think you're taking seriously the opposite position that the world is not better with smartphones. I mean that seriously.

I do take your point though, this is probably the most reasonable, sane position:

> We do need to mitigate them. However lets not throw out the good just because of the bad.

So you could not agree with your patent to meet at a default pick up point? Have we become this short attention focussed that any pre-planning is outside of our mental scope?
