Smartwatch vs. Recliner Loyalty

Modern technology loves tracking our health, counting our steps, and reminding us to move every hour. Between AI-powered fitness apps, wearable devices, algorithms that monitor our activity, and smart home gadgets competing for our attention, even relaxing has become a performance metric.
