TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: Wearable Fitness Tracker Data Logs

- Rationale: The data collected by a wearable fitness tracker on an individual’s daily activity, sleep patterns, and heart rate serves as a concrete example of how personal experience, mediated by technology, can be transformed into quantifiable knowledge.

It invites discussion on the implications of quantifying personal experiences and the role of technology in shaping our self-understanding.
