QUANTIFIED SELF
“New culture of personal data was taking shape…
With new tracking system popping up almost daily, we
decided to create a web site to track them. We called
our project the Quantified Self. We don’t have a
slogan, but if we did it would probably be ”Self-
knowledge through numbers”.
Wired – July 2009

Imagine if Taylor had the tools we'll have now. It looks
like we're moving toward a New Taylorism, only this
time, the worker takes control of measuring
effectiveness. It could create increased autonomy
through self-knowledge, and revolutionize, again,
management, and the way they live and work.
