Sometimes I think that technology has gone too far.
There’s really no such thing as solitude or privacy any more these afternoons, because you are consistently connected to almost everyone you know… And periodically people you don’t know. If you are anything like me, you are easily getting a bit uncomfortable with the idea that numerous companies are monitoring your moment by moment activities. Thanks to our smartphones, smart cars, & even our smart control units, giant companies can keep tabs on their purchasers like never before. This really started to bother me the other day when I realized my smartphone is talking to my smart control unit consistently. The smart control unit app is uploading information directly to my insurance dealer. My insurance supplier utilizes the air quality information to determine my yearly premiums, based on my assumed respiratory health, activity levels, & immune system strength. Why on earth does the insurance supplier use my HVAC information? Apparently, your central heating & cooling system health can be correlated to your physical health. If your smart control unit is indicating that you are consistently at home, using advanced indoor air temperature control, It signifies that you lead a sedentary lifestyle. If your smart control unit has not detected an air filter change or HVAC duct cleaning in many years, they know you are at increased risk of respiratory disease. Lastly, if you are consistently changing the indoor air temperature control settings or modifying the air quality in ways that don’t agree with HVAC algorithms, my insurance supplier considers it an indicator of underlying health problems! Unluckyly, I didn’t know any of my HVAC activity would matter when I agreed to their health monitoring system. When I tried to explain that my two year old really likes to mess with the shiny smart control unit, my insurance supplier wasn’t interested in reverting my premiums.
