The Nature Fix 

Description

I was climbing in Arches National Park when the Mappiness application on my

telephone pinged me. A few people would be irritated, however not I. At long last, I

was someplace outside and excellent and could tell the application how

glad, loose, and ready I was. Incredibly, and very. I told it so by

tapping on the screen. At that point I triumphantly snapped a picture of the smooth,

salmon-shaded precipices before me. Little geographies of lichen

jabbed through a break. A couple of impeccable white mists pottered over a

French blue sky. Let Big Brother, worked away in some austere

college lab, have that for lunch. After numerous months and 234

connections with this application, I quite often got pinged when I was

inside and working, which didn’t appear to be exceptionally useful to either the

Mappiness venture or to my own. (Also, it didn’t appear to be reasonable, in light of the fact that I

was outside on a regular basis, wasn’t I?) Mappiness is amidst a

multiyear huge information snatch, soliciting tens from a large number of volunteers to

record their states of mind and exercises two times per day aimlessly times.
