Our granddaughters and grandsons could actually go and ACCESS this information and find out what kind of books we read when we were in our teens, our 20s, our 30s. Unlike our generation, that has no idea what our grandparents read unless the actual book was handed down to us. I forgot about the Popsicle points! Oh man! And I agree, that people are already changing their behaviours (maybe slightly) because they know everything is documented. I don't know about points being transferred. Makes no sense to me that the points you earn for brushing your teeth an extra minute should be the same points you get if you buy 4 Big Macs in a week. Different decisions (good, bad), different types of points (positive, negative for the government but positive for McDonald's). Obviously the points you earn have to be valuable for SOMETHING, otherwise it would be similar to flooding the market, definitely. @Lucas – The thing I find fascinating right now is that we’re the first generation that can track all these things like, the books we’ve read.

You're welcome! 2. Interesting... I might actually buy that. You know, if that page actually HAD A PRICE anywhere instead of a "Save $10 now!" pop up. WTF Oral-B? 3. I absolutely love the idea of rewarding people for being greener and healthier. I hope the consumer stuff is kind of like, opt-in, and if you aren't interested, you could block it out of your life completely or something. @ Ian – 1. You’re welcome!

We're going to have more than we know what to do with. My dentist too would love for me to be tracking points on brushing and flossing. My mouth might love it as well, haha. @Jon – The future of advertising strategy: data, data, data, as high as the eye can see. We’re going to have more than we know what to do with.
