New Sony Software : Life Tracker

Sony have recently unveiled a new software.

It will apparently be able to track all activity you do on your phone so that you can see it all in one place. It will also enable users to make goals

Do you think this will be a good or a bad thing?

Will it make people realise just how much they do on their phones these days? Do you really want to see a list logs of all of your activity? Obviously it is hard to comment on as it has not been tested (I don't think) by any of you, but based on the information provided, does it have potential?

I wouldn't be happy with something that anyone else could look at in tracking how I use my phone.

So many recent media stories of hacking.

To be honest I know how I use my Phone and the data usage in iOS 7 tells me this info.

Other apps for os are available to show usage too.

It's bad enough having the timeline on Facebook which logs all of my activities, I don't think I could cope with a log of everything I do on my phone on all of my apps.

I didn't think about the issue of hacking - good point - hacking is become more and more common and it could be a simple file that is saved within from the software which basically shows someones life.

I'm so protective as well as activation lock on my iPhone and the 4 digit passcode I also use Applocker which means without a further passcode no one can even open a app.

I have a passcode on mine and the fingerprint sensor is active so it adds security to some extent.

Although I won't let me phone out of my sight since I was attacked and it was robbed 2 years ago.
