Is it because of the climate or due to eating habits? Some of them are among the wealthiest countries. With a prevalence …

No surprise in the data: people go to bed late on xmas and new year and wake up later the next morning. But the difference in each country seems to demonstrate that Americans don't party a lot and that French party more than many others. Here again, no surprise... ;-)

Last week, tech companies offered the web their April Fool's "jokes," like cats with dead mice, and we all sort of uncomfortably nodded. It's never been harder to discern a facetious idea from the genuine article than right now--and when "Fitbit for your pet" is considered a real business, who's to say what's a joke anymore?

A new device called the Silent Herdsman can remotely monitor dairy cow libido, so farmers can "maximize the probability of pregnancy."
Farid Mheir's insight:
I've been getting huge pushback from people when I suggest we should all lead quantified lives (http://sco.lt/5Iumx7). This is mostly due to privacy concerns which, I must admit, sound valid to me too. However, if you apply the same principles and technologies to animals, the whole concept becomes a lot more interesting, doesn't it? Soon we may even see cows wearing apple watches... or not! ;-)

I wrote about them in the past http://sco.lt/7FRff7 and I realize now that they are expanding their service offers into many other fields, including fitness which makes the whole solution way more personalized. Companies should take notice as they try to get more and more personal with their customers.

Life quantification pioneer Nicholas Felton's latest annual report is his most ambitious to date. For the last nine years, Nicholas Felton--who you may know best for inspiring the Facebook timeline or creating the life-logging app Reporter--has been recording some aspect of almost every moment of his life. And each year, he turns this data into a elegant, printed book that visualizes the year called The Feltron Report... Via Lauren Moss
Farid Mheir's insight:
The Felton report is a beautiful peeping hole into someone's life when they start to quantify themselves. Focussed on fairly benign problem space - conversations during the year - it shows what possibilities, both good and bad, lie within the quantified-self movement which is bound to explode with the availability of Apple watch and others alike. Of course it brings tremendous opportunities for monitoring someone's life in order to improve it. Whether it is by measuring exercice (as we do today with step trackers) or heart rate or glucose levels in order to improve health or medical diagnosis. In the context of business, organizations can monitor employees in order to minimize injuries or prevent illness and time loss due to sickness. There is of course the dark side, where all this data, when made available without our consent or knowledge, can be used to track us and restrict our privacy or our rights. This is already happening in the contexte of government surveillance (ie. Edward Snowden http://sco.lt/5k4B29) or internet browsing tracking (ie. data brokers http://sco.lt/79yNZh)

Emerging tech often takes a while to get into the enterprise. This year's watchlist shows that there's plenty of hot new spaces to watch, while a few much older trends are just now reaching mainstream.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I always like these quadrants. Not so much for the rating or the position of bubbles, triangles, or squares but for the insight it provides into the trends of the day. I always appreciate Dion's viewpoint as he often tries to make sense of ideas and concepts that float around without much structure. In this case, the list is worth reading, if only to keep up to speed with the buzzwords (I did not know there was such a thing a "the quantified enterprise" - wow). Moreover, as I've been trying to help my clients handle the "enterprise 2.0" since its early days, I find that what was initially a fairly well defined concept (bringing social into the enterprise) has now grown into a mix-grill of digital technologies - which is much in-line with the digital transformation of businesses I care so much about.

New Years Day is the start of an annual tradition where 90% of the population promises to change some aspect of their lives, and then promptly forgets. These data tools provide meaningful analytics of your habits, your lifestlye, and your virtues, giving you a constant reminder of how far you've come (and how far is left to go) towards your New Years Resolutions. Technori recommends fitness trackers, mood trackers, and even GPS sensors to log your daily routines, all part of a suite of programs that can quantify every aspect of your overall happiness.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
We are just starting to scratch the surface of what we can learn when we analyze the personal data from social media. When everything is connected with Internet of things products and when we measure everything we do using wearables and quantified-self technologies, the insights will be even greater. Companies should prepare to analyze this massive data rush and us all should start to think about our information privacy more carefully...
