Google is acquiring Fitbit for $2.1 billion

TechCrunch

You read that right - billions, not millions. Anything worth anything nowadays has that many zeros behind it.

Amazon has it for $144. You can buy a watch like the one I am wearing for $20.

These companies are getting in fast, while there are still obscene profits to be made.

Wikipedia says: In those who are overweight or obese, a 2016 study indicates that the use of wearable technology combined with standard behavioral interventions results in less rather than more weight loss after two years of use when compared to usual weight-loss interventions.
