Good thing about phone alarm is that it still works, even if the power goes out. Time sets itself for daylight savings automatically. Just remember to put it on the charger each night.

I had a wireless security system installed on my dad's house. I can disarm it from an app on my phone, even before I get there, or arm it if I forget on down the road after leaving.

Only thing I dislike about a smartphone is how dependent I've become upon it. I might not know how to function without it now. It really has made my life easier in many ways though.

Here's a question ... can a smart phone count steps?

I was just reading about a Stanford study across international boundaries and by gender. They used smart phone information and that was somewhat limiting but how would they be using the phones?

I can understand ... well ... I have some idea about fitbit but just phones by themselves ..?

An iPhone contains a 3D accelerometer, just like a fitbit, so it can track motion in four dimensions (3D + time).

Ooooh ... but, I don't have an iphone, @PhilaGardener!

Bought DSIL a fitbit. I bet he doesn't use it. Not according to DD's accounting of his activities. Hmmmm

He hasn't brought back my new weedwacker in over a month, leaving me running the old one around the yard. I wonder if .... oh, I'm getting enuf exercise at the moment. Might think of this in the winter. Maybe get him a snow sweeper attachment for the weedwacker for Christmas ...
