[Who Do I Live Like? -- App that analyzes computer/smartphone use patterns of people throughout the day and tells them who they use the computer/smartphone like. Would figure out if hypersuccessful people use computer diifferently. Conversations, GPS patterns, etc? I feel like this data would be invaluable and enable droves of sociological research as well as an entirely new class of apps cen tered around guiding/shaping lifestyle. What gets measured gets managed -- this app's job would be to measure everything it can in the process uncovering the secrets to human behavior that can be deduced from things as subtle as accelerometer motion patterns. .This RELATES TO my earlier post of this article -- this is the new frontier: AMAZING Application of Computer Usage Statistics: "How Depressives Surf the Web" http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/opinion/sunday/how-depressed-people-use-the-internet.html?_r=1&hp](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/opinion/sunday/how-depressed-people-use-the-internet.html?_r=1&hp). You could even give more government financial support to people who use their devices more healthily. ~jcole@mit.edu
