I read and commented on George Simen's blog: "Wearables and Learning." (For some reason when I click on comments though, it does not show up. Not completely for sure why, I've posted my comment three times.) Anyways, I am guilty of a wearable. I wear a Garmin Vivofit2 and keep up with my stats daily. I am aware it is not completely accurate. For example, it keeps track of your steps daily. I have multiple times been sitting on the couch, burping my son and hear it ring that I have met my step goal for the day (remind you by sitting on the couch.) I have learned that the motion of burping my son gives my Garmin the idea I am actively moving and "taking steps." Even though they might not be completely accurate, I do believe we can learn about ourselves using them. Even more than other devices like cell phones. It tells me my sleep at night as well as the calories I have burned that day. I love my Garmin and learning about myself by using it.
