A few weeks ago, I got a cursed ring. It looks like this:pic.twitter.com/CwR4hmN8gv
The curse was created by the interactions between my desire for validation and the ring's judgmental language.
"Meet daily targets: Pay attention." I'm not meeting daily targets? Well, the ring doesn't know I went climbing. And once today I forgot to put it on, and I walked around a lot then! haha!
The fact that I'm justifying myself to an inanimate object, albeit one with some sensors, is a bad sign. The fact that I feel anxiety if I head out of the house without the ring, wracking up all those uncounted footsteps, is a bad sign.
The ring wants to be worn. The more you wear it, the more accurate your data! Didn't you hear that? Data! It needs to know all, so it could tell me that I was working hard.
In the age of quantified self, validation comes from your smart objects.
