Data Obesity: The Latest Threat To Your Digital Fitness
Too much information can be hazardous to your health.

So many of our modern health problems stem from issues of abundance: fast
food, car-friendly suburbs, and endless couch-borne entertainment.
.
The cure for these, according to the quantified-self cult of Silicon
Valley, is more data! Just collect information about every step we take,
every beat of our heart, every toss we take in our sleep, everything we
eat and every drop we drink, and all will be revealed.
.
But what if the abundance of data, too, is part of the problem?

The problem with data gluttony is that noise can overwhelm signal. We
don't yet understand the complex interplay between nutrition, exercise,
sleep, and stress. And many of the data types we capture are a poor
approximation of what we're actually trying to measure.

The New Data Diet
.
Chris Tacy, a developer and entrepreneur, recently called for
technologists to adhere to a new code: the "minimal actionable dataset."
In other words, only gather the data about your users that you really know
you need.
.
It's a radical intervention against data gluttony. Call it the
informational equivalent of the paleo diet. When data storage was
expensive and computational power likewise dear, software only gathered
the bare minimum data required to get the job done.
.
It's easy to make the argument for data abundance. If you don't capture
all possible data, how will you know what proves useful? But the ultimate
restriction on data processing isn't computation or storage. It's our
human bandwidth to analyze data and translate it into concrete action.

Statistics could be defined as a number of things.

Working with statistics on a regular basis can have serious impact on your
health as your days will be numbered.
