I Don't Want an App for That!

Maybe some people should just stay with old school. Maybe I am just one of those people.  I am trying to be open, explore and learn. Although today it just gives me a headache! 

The good news is that my little sleep tracker said I got 2 hours of deep sleep last night and 3 hours overall. The bad news is that it needs to recharge and it took me 40 minutes to simple remove the wrist band so I can recharge it. Now while it is recharging it is not recording any of the other functions, so I certainly don’t want to walk for a mile. So essentially now an app is controling my behavior and the sad part is “I AM ALLOWING THAT.” I am so disappointed in myself. Perhaps I should remind myself the doctor was most concerned about the sleep portion. Maybe I should just wear it at night time. but I don’t know that it turns off when I am not waring it. 

Then my employer send was they said was a handy little app I could add to my phone so they could get in touch with me quickly.  Humm, I have a phone, I have an email, I have work instant message and I don’t know if I want them to alert me with some app.

I guess I am a dinosaur. Hey maybe all of you could chime in and we could create my dinosaur name! What do you think?

  1. Ironically, as I was reading your article, I got an ad for the Fitbit, a device that can allow anyone with the skills to hack it to know where and when you go. There’s also a smartphone version and who knows what they are doing with the data they collect.

  2. Cute last line about the dinosaur lol. I had a tracker and the one part broke. I did like it though, it kept track of my steps, sleep pattern, and my calories too.

  3. There are actually solutions that do the two functions separately. The product Eight is a bed cover that warms your bed but also tracks your sleep.

    There are many step counters, but honestly, the easiest one I’ve found is the built-in (either Google Health on Android or Apple Health on the iphones) application. then you only have to charge your phone!
