Smart rosary

Oh FFS, lol ...
 
Yeah, I saw this and cannot help but think this doesn't need to exist.

@Thomas, thoughts?
 
Cue Douglas Adams' literary invention, the Electric Monk, a device which will do the tedious work of believing things for us, like a dishwasher does the tedious dishes, or a VCR watches tedious television for us. (It was the 80s, we had video recorders. Nowadays we have to watch netflix ourselves, again. A technical regression!)

I remember, in my youth, we'd get a little booklet to fill with "credits" for attending sunday school in preparation for Confirmation. Maybe nowadays there is a mobile app for that? There are many religious apps for all kinds of faiths in the app stores, for reminding one of prayer times, for aligning geographically, for remembering holidays, for keeping track of meditation times and frequencies, for scripture study, for chanting, and so on.

Apparently this kind of gamified spiritual progress tracking is appealing to some even in later life.

Anyway, the thought of having to physically recharge one's rosary has a certain poignant charm, I have to admit. Gives a spiritual touch to our daily devotions to the Internet of Things.

And I can't but wonder how long it will take for some security breach to happen and the prayer habits of the faithful becoming available for download in the form of a database dump...
