And now for something completely different.
Our sister publication, New Scientist, featured this group of geeks with way too much spare time on their hands computer engineers who recently compared inventions last week at the 11 International Symposium on Wearable Computers in Boston, Massachusetts. (We were going to make a joke about someone saying “Mine is bigger than yours”, but we’re not that sort of blog, so we won’t).
One of the brand new devices included a computer hooked up to the user to determine whether or not enough physical activity was being carried out. Yes, as if it wasn’t enough for your know-it-all PC to tell you over and over again you need to register for this program, or you need to update that anti-virus subscription, now your computer can tell you that you need to hit the gym. Wonderful.
