Perhaps you're enjoying a new smart device you got over the holidays, or maybe you're trying to cut back on how much time you spend scrolling on social media. Some of you are probably trying to figure out a way to keep working from home, at least some of the time. No matter what, my guess is that your use of technology has gone up one way or another since the start of the pandemic. So what does it all really mean for our data privacy?

Joanna Stern's documentary: "The iPhone Baby: How 15 Years Shaped a Generation."
