When the Wii fit came out last month, I broke down and bought one. I've been using it about every other day for the last month and some interesting interactions have begun to take place:
- It started asking me about why I missed a workout for a day or two.
- After I actually lost a little weight, it asked my daughter if she noticed the change.
- Yesterday, it asked me if I'd seen my daughter recently, since she hasn't been spending enough time with it.
It all starts to seem like a desperate and lonely cry for attention. I'm beginning to wonder what other strange behaviors I'll be seeing. The more I play with it, the more capabilities it unlocks so I'll keep coming back. Hopefully it doesn't want more out of this relationship than I can give.
I've blogged before about the use of context and "smart" computing. It can be a bit surprising when a device starts using context (weight, time of day, date...) to try and modify behavior.
