约翰•里科是位"自我量化主义者",用他的话就是做一个让自己生活更美好的人。
Every one of us wants to live a better life, but what is a self-quantifier, exactly?
我们每个人都想过得更好,但究竟什么才是"自我量化主义者"?
Well, if you have a smartphone with apps tracking your daily activities like spending, exercise, or keeping a calorie diary to help manage your weight, then you might well be on your way to become a self-quantifier.
好吧,如果你的智能手机安装了一些这样的应用程序—追踪你包括消费、锻炼在内的日常活动,或者记录卡路里日记来帮你保持体形的话,那你可能就离"自我量化主义者"不远了。
Self-quantification is, at its most basic, maintaining performance statistics or data about oneself.
自我量化,最基本的便是记录自身性能统计与数据。
Rico, a US writer, takes self-quantification to another level that it almost has become an obsession.
里科是位美国作家,对于自我量化,他已经到了痴迷的程度了。
In a recent article he wrote for Salon magazine, Rico admits that he not only tracks both exercise and spending, but on his iPhone, he also has specific apps that track the water he drinks, sleeping cycles, moods, the last time he communicated with friends, and how much time he spends watching television. "Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, my iPhone is pushing, fetching and recording data about myself," he says.
