I also see technology as key to SCC; I didn't see it as carrying over to Fringe, but yeah, you're right, it does. I have just been so disappointed that they seem to have dropped the critique of multinationalism from S1 that I've blocked most of it out.
One of the things I love about SCC is that the technology and parent issues intertwine, that so much of the plot is about education, expectation, and indoctrination, for robots as much as humans.
I really loved the bit in 208 where Olivia's niece has clearly internalized the "Don't protest Daddy's absence when he's working" dictum, only applied to Olivia.
