FO-ASS: Definition
Dr. Einer Schwingarm, the famous German psychologist who first diagnosed FO-ASS, described the syndrome:
“FO-ASS features the voluntary or involuntary movement of a body part, typically on the non-dominant side, with a heightened desire for the tracking device to interpret such movement as “steps” or “exercise,” and then reflect this data in the device watch face or smartphone app.”
Warning SIGNS of FO-ASS:
Have you ever looked at your pet and wondered how many steps you could get if you attached the device to it? (Have you actually tried it?)
When your Fitbit is charging, do you typically remain perfectly still because “what’s the point?”
