Today we seem to live by the phrase, “Knowledge is power.” We use wearable devices to help us understand our own habits. We can discover how much, how often, and what we are eating. We can use these tools to determine whether we are getting the exercise we need to meet our goals, and to compete against friends and family ?—?turning workouts into a game. New technologies even help us monitor our moods and the quality of our sleep. Are you more depressed during the winter months? Does your stress level rise before a meeting with your boss? Do you get sleepy after your lunch break? Armed with this information, users can gain a better understanding of themselves, identifying patterns and using that data to make lifestyle changes. All good, right? Maybe not.
