If you don't think that big huge businesses have a vested interest in the quantification of the body and selling us on further quantification of bodies and casting doubts about our abilities to manage those bodies without their products, then I just do not k ow what to tell you, yinny.

It's idiotic and it is selling well because we are more than willing to surrender our ability to determine if we are tired or not to our shoes.

To the sort of people who announce how many steps they got in to a disinterested room, which is a fair number of people considering how well Fitbit and copycats are selling. Underarmor isn't the only brand with smart shoes. Nike has them too. And considering that video has underarmor saying they are on the third generation and have three models of shoes, it must be a successful line.

People love not having to think about poo poo and having some number spit out to tell them that they got enough sleep or not or they are tired.
