Your smartwatch knows your heart rate. Your app logs every calorie. But who’s tracking how your gym membership auto-renews.

You’re tired of tech news that feels like shouting into a hurricane. I am too. Every morning it’s another headline. Another “game-changing” app.

My back hurts. My legs feel like dead weight. And no, standing up for thirty seconds every hour doesn’t fix it. You sit eight hours a day.

You remember that grainy black-and-white photo of a referee blowing a whistle. No data. No replay. Just one call (and) you lived with it.

You’re tired of hearing the word “new” attached to software that breaks on Tuesday. Or worse. You paid for it anyway.

My back hurts right now. Yours probably does too. Eight hours in a chair will do that. You feel sluggish by noon. Your legs are heavy.

Fintech moves so fast it’s hard to catch your breath. You open a newsletter and see “AI-powered lending”.
