They'll start using surveillance technology in schools so that easily impressionable kids will be used to it by the time they're adults - and by the time anybody speaks up it'll be used in the corporate environment, then society as a whole.
It's like how Apple pushed for their Apple computers to be in schools in the 80s (90s?), and how Google pushes Chromebooks onto educators.
They'll start using surveillance technology in schools
This has been going on since at least the 90s. Most schools put CCTV in and watch everything that is done on the property, and administrators have very little limits of access controls in place to make sure nobody is creepily watching little timmy all the time.

Chromebooks are a godsend for education. Especially for students who do not have a computer at home.
I agree wholeheartedly though that schools are used as a way to normalize authoritarian tech or policies.
Very scary... We can see technology being used in the worst possible ways and there's not much we can do apparently.
