Quirky product developers have
created an alarm clock that is designed to wake you up in a depressing new way
– by displaying estimated life expectancy and financial information.
The unpleasant LED invention
connects to your WiFi and proceeds to combine wake-up calls with facts such
as social network friend numbers, projected life expectancy and bank
balance.
ALARM clock is the latest
success story emerging from online funding website Kickstarter – a site
that encourages members of the public to invest in proposed ideas they want to
see become a reality.
Despite the product’s gloomy
intentions, ALARMclock has already received 217 financial backers and funding
of almost $20,000.
Potential backers still have 17 days
left to invest in the idea before production goes ahead.
