From South China Morning Post (website)
MIT Media Laboratory’s new alarm clock is a gadget you will either love or hate. Gauri Nanda has developed an alarm clock that literally plays hide-and-seek with oversleepers. When the alarm goes off, “Clocky” rolls away from the bed, forcing the sleeper to get up and switch it off. Mr. Nanda said he was inspired, in part, by kittens he owned that would bite his toes every morning. “Clocky is a troublesome pet that you love anyway, ” he says on his website. “It’s also a bit ugly. But its unconventional looks keep the user calm, inspire laughter at one of the most hated times of the day.” It is estimated that “Clocky” could be manufactured for under US$20.
Japanese people have got to have the strangest inventions by far. The many weird things they have created throughout the years sometimes just make me laugh. Well, it’s a good thing, they make many of the greatest things too, just look at Sony.
