Information systems have transformed the industrial world. We track metrics for everything, and make decisions from charts of these metrics. People seem to think that because data is so important to S&P 500, it must be equally important to their own person. It's currently just a toy though, that people get tired of after a while. Why would you need to know how many steps you did in a day? It's a gimmick. This will however change once it is agregated by big data, shipped off to ML algorithms that churn the data and tell you what to do via voice interfaces.

>"You should exercise for 5 more minutes" via Alexa/Siri/Home in your earbuds while exercising. To me it sounds terrible. It's no secret that work-out length and level of intensity hugely, hugely depends on your mental state at the moment. For instance I recall good old days when I tried impress good looking ladies in my gym and easily pulled/pushed heavy weights that I wouldn't do normally(how silly it was!). Another example is if I face some minor issue that I am worry about(annoying neighbours, upcoming promotion, et) I can't work-our efficiently enough, even being in the perfect physical shape. No fucking Alexa/Siri/Home can detect that. And if one day it is able to do that then it means that the AI just took over the world. Thanks, but I will continue my silly-no AI-most effective approach to the healthy life!
