A small robot arm is programmed in such a way that it moves a fitness wristband to simulate jogging for a smartphone. Other data (pulse and heart rate) are generated by a pulse generator (tens) and artificial skin. This is how a living athlete is simulated with a pulse, heart rate and pedometer. Those simulated human data are inserted into the big data using a specific created Google account and associated social media accounts. A system is created in which a robot influences the statistics on human behavior. Since the robot can theoretically jog forever, a series of data is taken to absurdity: life expectancy, daily mileage, stability of the heart rate under load. All these aspects, which will also be of interest to our health insurance companies now, will be raised to an inhuman level by means of a robot. The gathering of metadata becomes uninteresting because the actual data set from which the meta information is to be extracted has nothing to do with (human) reality anymore.
