I agree. I also do old-fashioned stuff at the gym.

But I can see how hooking up a X-Box Kinect (a camera with some fancy software) to automatically give you feedback on your technique for squats could be a nice thing.

Most people don't go low enough on the squat, so a neutral third party would be nice. Especially if you do not have a knowledgeable training buddy. (You can't trust most employees' knowledge in gyms about proper weight lifting technique.) Also I would like to have my heart rate graphed during the lifts.

And the chip in the fridge could just give you the nudge to do what you like to do anyway, but would be too lazy at the moment to do.
