Activity: Distinguishing Between Types of Self-Tracking

Overview

Hi there, so this is an activity for this communications class called "Big Data & Society". In this activity you will need to answer this question: 

How can we differentiate or distinguish between Personal Science, the Quantified Self, and Lifelogging? In what ways do these practices overlap, and how are they different? Explain in 1-2 paragraphs, with reference to a specific self-tracking project that you have discovered either on the web or in class.

Here is an example of an extensive 10-year Quantified Self Project that ran from 2005-2014. Have a look at the annual reports to see how the project evolves as self-tracking technologies become more widely available. Link: http://feltron.com/index.html
