“The habit of using technology to measure
something in your life, in order to be able to
pay more attention to it. And then from that,
to be able to share that data that’s created,
and share that attention, amongst other
likeminded people, in order to find some
wider correlation, some wider causality behind
whatever that thing is.”
Ben Hammersley
