Connected Living – Would you choose this lifestyle?

This week saw the story of ‘America’s Most Connected Man’ hit the news. Chris Dancy, of Denver, Colorado  - who bills himself as a “Data Exhaust Cartographer” on his site www.chrisdancy.com – has been tracking and recording his every move, action and purchase since 2007. Real-time data collected via 700 wearable and lifestyle technologies have amassed this information – however mundane and unimportant each increment of data may seem, imagine the picture which can - and has - been painted about modern life.

I pose the question: Would you rather spend a week without technology, or a week hooked up to hundreds of devices all collecting and collating information about your life?
