Living By Numbers

http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/magazine/17-07/lbnp_nike

The latest edition of the Wired Magazine has a very interesting piece on Living by Numbers. About how many of us are turning into self experimenters, observing, recording and analysing minute aspects of our lives to have a better understanding of how we work.

In many ways this is not even news as everybody has some idea about numbers associated to themselves. How much do you weigh, for example. Or hows your BP or blood sugar levels etc. People now are moving beyond to register stuff like mood, feelings and emotions to somehow understand patterns within ourselves.

It would sound hideous to puritans but it’s the next thing I guess.
