1
Location sharing started out as a safety tool, but somewhere along the line it turned into something more of a social test.
2
Teenagers started sharing their locations with friends on Snapchat and Instagram.
3
Romantic partners did it too.
4
One survey even found that 20% of adults think that a partner who won't share their location is a deal breaker.
5
But how did we get to this point?
6
Because if you told me 20 years ago that all of my family
7
and half of my friends would know my exact location at every moment, I would have been absolutely horrified.
8
I recently put those questions to Thomas Germain.
9
He's co-host of the BBC podcast The Interface and author of the weekly column Keeping Tabs.
10
I mean, the only way we could go farther than this is like
11
if you were keeping a diary and sharing your thoughts.
12
It can't be a mistake that there's this social pressure built in that when you turn off location sharing, the other person gets a notification.
13
Cady stopped sharing her location with me.
14
Now I'm like, well, what happened?
15
Like, did her feelings change?
16
Like, what was it?
17
The thing with all of these technologies is we're living through
18
a natural experiment where we will find out what the consequences are.
19
But at that point, it's baked into our lives and it's too late.
20
are we at risk of conflating visibility with trust i mean
21
you can see all of the kind of intimate details of where somebody is it doesn't actually necessarily mean you're
22
that much closer to them no you now have a whole bunch of teenagers
23
and young adults who treat it as
24
if it was like likes on social media that
25
if you don't like me you're not my friend if you don't like me you're not close to me enough.
26
So when did you see that shift happening?
27
Yeah, there's definitely been a really interesting change here.
28
Apple introduced location sharing, I think it was about 15 years ago.
29
But I would say over the past 10 years, and especially in the last five, there's been this change in families now,
30
very common for everyone to have their location on, but also in like friend groups, I've seen this a lot,
31
where the fact that you're sharing your location with someone is a sign
32
that you've reached some level of intimacy or in romantic relationships that sharing a location is like a sign of trust,
33
a sign that you've got nothing to hide, that you're on the same page and you can always be in touch with each other.
34
But it's also created all of these weird pressures, both because some people don't want to share their location
35
and people often don't realize what it is they're revealing when they give this information away.
36
But saying no, or even worse,
37
revoking it once you've given it to another person can create kind of a conflict in some cases
38
that makes this like an issue of peer pressure that can be really difficult to navigate.
39
You're so right in romantic relationships.
40
I was stunned when I sort of this stat that showed me that for 21% of people in romantic relationships, not sharing their location is a deal breaker.
41
It's like the kind of tech equivalents.
42
You're like a phone equivalent of a prenup.
43
I don't know where that came from and what it does to a relationship, but I'm going to be honest, I find it slightly creepy.
44
Yeah.
45
I mean, I try to not pass judgment about this sort of thing.
46
You're a better man than me.
47
Well, I try.
48
I'm not saying I succeed.
49
But, you know, I've been writing about privacy for almost 10 years now, and I find this pretty alarming.
50
On the one hand, maybe it's like, oh, well, it's a sign that me and my partner, we trust each other and everything's fine.
51
And we don't have anything to worry about.
52
That's the question is that you need the sign.
53
You need the proof.
54
You need the sign.
55
You need the proof.
56
I think for some people, not giving that level of information is a sign that you're hiding something,
57
which is pretty shocking when we think about just how intimate and how much information you're sharing with another person.
58
This is where I am at all times.
59
So like there's no moment of your life that's just for you.
60
They need constant 24-7 access to you.
61
And I think that's kind of a problem.
62
Okay, so now I'm going to ask you to play psychologist.
63
Okay, can't wait.
64
And having sounded a little judgy about this, I have four kids.
65
Of the four of them, three of them I share, and I love seeing where they are.
66
One of them, my daughter, Maya, who's 29, always said, I find this kind of creepy.
67
Even my boyfriend, who I've been living with for 10 years, he doesn't share.
68
I don't really want you to know where I am at all times.
69
And so I have a sort of control sample, which is that it never occurs to me to even look or wonder where Maya is.
70
I don't even have that.
71
It's almost like knowing that I can look feeds a sort of addiction that I have now developed.
72
Are the companies, as well as it being great businesses, are they giving us something that we need or did they make this happen?
73
I mean, are they tapping into some need of ours that was already there
74
or have they created this need in us, Dr. Thomas?
75
You know, as a licensed psychologist, no of course i did
76
but uh i that's a really interesting question i think of it less as a need that's being fulfilled
77
and more of uh something that's playing into a natural human
78
desire once these tools are available it creates a new opportunity to worry and because it's there
79
because you can check it i think addiction is a useful framework i don't know
80
that this kind of thing is literally addictive but the fact
81
that you can check makes you want to do it the fact
82
that it's always there that you can always feed
83
that it's like oh do i need to be worried about
84
my daughter well i'll just check where she is you weren't there was no opportunity to do
85
that in the past so that anxiety maybe wouldn't have developed there
86
so i think it creates maybe more problems than it's solving i'm sure it's comforting for some people
87
and maybe slightly sort of infantilizing as well i mean i think of how
88
when i grew up i traveled all over the world without
89
my parents having any idea where i was in a crinky little airmail letter and you turned out fine well ish
90
More or less.
91
Ish.
92
Okay, so let me just kind of throw this forward before we close.
93
20 years ago, the idea to you
94
that you would have been tracked every minute by your family or by your friends would have seemed anathema.
95
It was just kind of unthinkable and you might have been a bit appalled even at the idea of it.
96
You watch technology, Thomas, very closely.
97
You follow all of this.
98
Where do you see this going in the tea leaves?
99
What else is there that's emerging in terms of tech features that today would seem weird,
100
which in 10 years time may be totally normalized in terms
101
of how we interact with other people well you know there's a there's a factor
102
that i think people don't consider
103
that makes this sort of thing very difficult to predict and
104
that is that so much of it is based on not just what's normal
105
but what's cool right if we think about the history of social media for example
106
when i was in high school everyone was on myspace it was a particular kind of interacting
107
that is dead it used to be
108
that everyone was watching cable it was impossible to imagine
109
that would go away i think you can look at a
110
lot of this stuff as generational trends there could be shifts in the you know public sentiment about what's normal
111
and what we want that people do that just this becomes icky
112
or it becomes lame
113
or it's like oh you're sharing a location that's what my grandma did what like come on who does
114
that but i think the one thing that i'm paying the most attention to
115
and this is i think different in a lot of ways uh there's been a lot of discussion about
116
the ways the technology has made our lives frictionless you can
117
get food delivered without talking to a human being you don't
118
have to go to the grocery store anymore you don't need
119
to go to you don't have to buy toilet paper they'll bring it to you
120
if you want to look something up it takes no effort
121
but i think that kind of
122
that lack of friction is starting to bleed into our social relationships
123
and raise the expectation of how much attention you're expected to give somebody
124
It could reach a breaking point where it's too much and people get tired of this and they go, I'm done, I'm not sharing my location, I'm not responding to your text,
125
or it could become an expectation and we'll all just start doing this
126
so we're not the weird one in the friend group that doesn't share our location.
127
It's hard to predict where things are going to go, but there's a lot of easy problems you can spot from a distance.
128
Thomas, Jermaine, thank you very much.
129
That was super.
130
Thanks for having me on.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
