Publisher's Summary:

As the Zika virus continues to make headlines, consensus is slowly growing among scientists that it's showdown time for the mosquito. Time to marshal the technology to wipe them off the face of the earth. Which seems pretty extreme. Doesn't it?

So, should we bio-engineer mosquitoes out of existence? Remember, it's not just about making picnics more pleasant...it's about Zika, malaria, dengue - human lives.

Mosquitoes. Should they live, or die?

Title: To the Best of Our Knowledge: The Quantified Self (Rebroadcast)

Author: Jim Fleming

Narrator: Jim Fleming

Format: Original Recording

Length: 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-04-16

Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

A few years ago, the notion of the "quantified self" was the domain of a relatively small group of hackers, engineers, and computer enthusiasts. Now, under its many names - lifelogging, self-tracking, fitness monitoring - it's become one of the fastest growing segments of the technology industry, from Fitbits to the Apple Watch. Its tools are small computers that live in everyday devices: bracelets, phones, televisions, light bulbs. And its promise is a world where we make better choices based on insights provided by the computation of large data sets. But to get to that point means confronting a future that many find disconcerting: homes and bodies integrated with machines that will track our movements, our heart rates, and our feelings.

This hour, we set out to understand and interrogate this phenomenon. Can "the self" actually be quantified? Should it be?
