Children and the smartwatch, a safe combination?

Google smartwatches

The smartwatch could be a fantastic way to keep our children safer, or more controlled, here each parent would take the measures they deem necessary. However, it seems that these types of devices are still quite remote from the children's audience. It does not seem that the manufacturers show you the same interest as when developing applications and tablets.

We could even say that they are having the adverse result. It seems that the safety of children is not much less increased when it comes to including smart devices in their little dolls like this kind of watches, are they a bad combination?

The Norwegian Consumer Council is clear that no user is looking for ways to protect their children because they take for granted the fact that manufacturers choose to offer these types of products. This is how the analysts of the control bodies in the United States of America agree and are very clear that despite being an extremely interesting sector it is being totally abandoned by the manufacturers for no apparent reason, there are not a few parents who would go to acquire these types of products if they really met expectations. Currently they have proposed to analyze the market and the result is devastating.

This is how the NCC has found important security flaws in applications and devices that are aimed at protecting and geolocating the smallest of the family. Therefore, they are by no means a reliable method to prevent our offspring from ending up in the hands of a stranger. In fact, some of these devices even have listening mechanisms, which not only put the minor's privacy at risk, but also that of everyone around him. Be that as it may, control media such as the NCC have found significant deficiencies in these types of products, so they choose not to recommend them at all.
