App Zap

My smart phone is watching me...and it can watch you too. There's an app for that. There's an app for almost everything. Almost everthing. I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I have just come across a new survey from the University of Michigan. They used data from a smart phone app to measure sleep patterns around the world. Our smart phones are watching our every move. There is a smart phone app for everything. Well, almost everything. There is an app that measures your weight, your BMI, your heart rate, & then tells you the weather forecast. Why not a little screen that pops up to tell you where you rate on the ugly or beautiful scale? There's an app that tells you when your shower is just the temperature you like. You can't just put your hand in the water instead? Then there's the Oral-B pro 5000 series that alerts you when you're brushing too hard. Seriously. And the August Smart Lock that identifies you by your smart phone and unlocks your door automatically when you're getting close. Suppose you lose your smart phone and Dracula finds it?
