Baby-Led Feeding

My granddaughter has been feeding herself for the last month or so … approaching 8 months old, she has added the third stage of a three-tier feeding architecture to her routine: baby-led feeding; spoon-fed; and the good old fashion way. I find it interesting how the trajectory of computing has altered the process of child raising. I don’t want to sound critical, but raising a baby today appears more structured, more “data driven” than I recall when we raised our children. It seems every moment and function of her life is fully documented, either through “apps” or photographs and videos. While the data gathering effort provides obvious short-term benefits, I do wonder about leaving such a detailed trail over the life of an individual.
