I know this is a joke but it made me think how messed up it is that we've outsourced recognizing our own emotions lol
Also, now a bunch of companies have tons of data on when and where we feel things
There’s a reason the only smartwatch I’d allow health tracking on is the Pebble. I really don’t like the idea of a corp having realtime heartbeat info on me.
But imagine the relevant ads you could be served...
I'm excited for my new Pebble to arrive, but it'll be a few more months at least.
You say outsourced, but it's not like (men largely, but probably everyone) were super in touch with our emotions previously.
The “take a minute to breathe” thing is on a timer; it doesn’t react to detected emotions.
No, but the “Your heart rate is above 120 and you don’t appear to be moving” notification does.
Only if you choose devices that require all data go through their servers, like a garmin.
