自我追踪并不是一种真正的优化工具，而是一种发现工具，如果我们曾经认为奇怪的追踪机制正在变得正常，最有趣的影响之一可能是让我们重新评估“正常”的含义。不管是好是坏，我们都是数据生成机器。无论何时我们用信用卡付款，或者开车通过自动收费系统，或者回复电子邮件或打电话，我们都忍不住留下一串1和0。这是我们的数字废气：我们在日常生活中产生的可跟踪或可存储的行动，选择和偏好。
Self-tracking is not really a tool of optimization but of discovery, and if tracking regimes that we would once have thought bizarre are becoming normal, one of the most interesting effects may be to make us re-evaluate what "normal" means. For better or for worse, we are data-generating machines. Whenever we pay with a credit card or drive through an automated toll system, or answer an e-mail or make a phone call, we can't help but leave a steady stream of ones and zeroes in our wake. This is our digital exhaust: the trackable or storable actions, choices, and preferences that we generate as we go about our daily lives.
