Wow, interesting idea!

Imagine if (in the future) some item like a phone can detect this information around you, and automatically record it. Forming games ontop of this life data would be weird, neat, fun and sad all at the same time. Imagine seeing a real example of where someone else is just more lucky than you are in stupid but impactful (on your morale) ways.

If it didn't seem so tedious to track, I'd love to implement an app to record this info. Unfortunately no one I know would care, and I'm sure I'd get too lazy to keep it accurate. Neat nonetheless, thanks for the cool thoughts :)




Similar to the recruiters that throw away the top half of the application stack because they don't want unlucky people in their company I could see such data become valuable to some people.
