I already have heard about it, but it is still a good read 
Pity that the number of people that don't have a elephanting clue and / or ignore such warnings is much bigger than it should 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I avoid as much as possible to have kids confronted to smart devices, so a smart watch is certainly the last thing I would buy them. 
First, I do not know what possible electromagnetic waves these cheap chinese hardware are emitting (with cheap I mean the quality, not the price), so it does not sound healthy to get one permanently on a child's arm, and then, I have to battle already much so that they do not spend hours on our tablets/phones/etc... so a watch is definitely a no go.

Good points but we were mostly curious about the GPS tracking as a safety feature when dropping him off for classes. Also an easy way for him to stay in touch with us.

My teenagers have got Garmin smartwatches and they seem to work well. I find it helps them keep track of how active they are and keeps them motivated. The ones with music are really cool! Two of my sons have Vivoactive3 and one has just got a Forefunner because his sport is running.
If my kids were a little younger I would definitely look at the Garmin Vivoactive with Verizon because it is great to know they can contact you if they need to without them having to have a cellphone to carry around.

<specfile> The pck specification file to use (or stdin)
<outputfile> The file to write (or stdout)
<classname> The name of the class to generate (or taken from the filename or from the start symbol of the grammar)
<namespace> The namespace to generate the code under (or none)
<language> The .NET language to generate the code for (or draw from filename or C#)
Generates an LL(1) parser in the specified .NET language.
pckw ll1 [<specfile> [<outputfile>]]
<specfile> The pck specification file to use (or stdin)
<outputfile> The file to write (or stdout)
Factors a pck grammar spec so that it can be used with an LL(1) parser.
pckw ll1tree <specfile> [<inputfile>]
<specfile> The pck specification file to use
<inputfile> The file to parse (or stdin)
Prints a tree from the specified input file using the specified pck specification file.
pckw xlt [<inputfile> [<outputfile>]] [/transform <transform>] [/assembly <assembly>]
<inputfile> The input file to use (or stdin)
<outputfile> The file to write (or stdout)
<transform> The name of the transform to use (or taken from the input and/or output filenames)
<assembly> The assembly to reference
Translates an input format to an output format.
Available transforms include:
pckToLex Translates a pck spec to a lex/flex spec
pckToYacc Translates a pck spec to a yacc spec
xbnfToPck Translates an xbnf grammar to a pck spec.

Yeah. I wish it didn't have to but parser generators do a lot, and grammar translators do too. =)

Might I suggest 4 articles?
- Overview
- Generating an FA tokenizer/lexer
- Generating an LL(1) parser, factoring a pck grammar spec and printing a tree using a pck specification file
- Translating an input format to an output format (elaborate on what this is)

So far I've got Pck: The Parser Construction Kit[^] which covers the main hub of the project. I also have Pck/FA: A regular expression and finite state engine in C#[^] which covers your second bullet.
I was planning on doing one on writing the transformations as well, but I am coding an ANTLR translation to use as the sample case. I'd rather not make examples out of the XBNF->PCK one because it's really complicated, nor the Yacc or Lex ones because they're too simple to demonstrate the features.
So I need a goldilocks, and ANTLR is juuuust right.

I have worked as Desktop developer during all my career. I see and hear a lot of new technologies. And I study them myself evenings. For example docker, mvc, .net core, angular js, react... but in my company boss doesn't give web and mobile technologies to me. i feel really bored. i wanted to change my job for last week. but being unexperienced with real projects is really big problem for me. so nobody want to pay money what is my salary now. I feel like i am being fossil. and i can't find good jobs in the future.

I tended to try to find excuses to use a technology i wanted to get experience with in the projects I was working on.
You can build a desktop app in angular, I've heard, and what your boss doesn't understand won't hurt him.
And if it's a good idea, then bonus, you can sell him on that. If he starts seeing you using web tech in your apps he may even hand you web projects.
One thing you could argue for in terms of a webified desktop app is its ability to stay updated and current, but also to give a look and feel more familiar to less adept computer users who are used to web style interfaces.
Maybe its your boss who is unable to move forward. Maybe he can with the right motivation, or at least you can unstick yourself.
Just some ideas to throw at you. I wish you luck.

i had some web projects from the past. he took all of the projects from me and gave them to junior developers and doesn't give me web projects. imo he afraid of i will escape if i have more experience on web or mobile. he want to maintain his old projects with me.

Oh, i see. Well here's the thing. If he's keeping you around as a legacy coder for the company you have some choices to make.
On the one hand, this is job security of the kind you will not find in the field very often. You hold the keys to the kingdom if you hold the legacy code. Do not take that for granted.
However, you're right, it sounds like you're being stifled. So if it were me, my thinking would be, is it worth it to me to go out in the field and take my chances with a company who may or may not run their software teams well (less than half do - if i'm being generous) or should I stick with the devil I know, and code on the more interesting things at home?
Knowing me, I am the kind of person that would set my own house on fire just for the change of pace it would bring  so i know what I would do.
But I don't know what you would do. It sounds like in some ways, you've got it good where you're at (job security - you're needed) but you're bored (which is never sustainable)
Would you rather find a way to be unbored at work?
If you think you're valuable enough, maybe talk to your boss about it. Be direct. Be like, I really like working here, but I'm getting bored always working on the same projects. I would really like to have some of the newer web tech stuff thrown my way so I can stay happy here.
That last bit is not so subtle code for "i might leave if you don't."
