Also, I read a great article in the NY Times about this topic today: The Joy of Quiet http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/opinion/sunday/the-joy-of-quiet.html?_r=2&ref=opinion<br /><br />Of course, there are varying types of connectedness vis-a-vis devices. I agree on the intrusiveness of most, but wearing a Fitbit, for example, is a type of wearable computing / quantified self tool that, to me at least, seems unobtrusive. Perhaps that's why people like it. I actually don't have one, but was hoping to use the UP from Jawbone. Sadly, it's not wireless and was recalled before I received my complimentary device.<br /><br /><br />Best regards,<br />Paul Sonnier<br /><br />Founder, Wireless Health group on LinkedIn <br />Mentor, Blueprint Health<br />Co-chair, Healthcare Communications SIG at CommNexus San Diego<br />Twitter: WirelessHealth1Paul Sonnierhttp://www.linkedin.com/groups?about&gid=2181454&trk=anet_ug_grppronoreply@blogger.com
