I agree the Apple Watch is really useful this way. But can't an "independent" device do this? It does not need to be tied to a phone or an app ecosystem (android or iOS) to work. It does need a cellular connection, and some l

I wouldn't draw the parallel to the spying. Thats not something ordinary people have direct control over. What I am suggesting is to make the change by determining where your dollar is spent. A consumer has direct control over that dol
