Default An Alarm Clock For Me

http://www.media.mit.edu/press/clocky/index.html

"Clocky is, quite simply, for people who have trouble waking up. When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky will roll off the bedside table and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it eventually finds a spot to rest. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get up out of bed and search for Clocky. This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels that are concealed by Clocky's shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day."



Ok, way off topic, but it is a slow Friday. Anyways, isn't this the perfect alarm clock for all us lazy people who keep hitting that damn Snooze button? Well, it is certainly better than inventing something that throws water on the snooze-hitter. Would you use this?

:lol:


No offense to anyone who likes the idea behind this clock design, and maybe this is great for some, but I would never use something like this. I love hittin' the snooze button, but this thing sounds like a recipe for a bad attitude and a date with a shotgun. Because the last thing I want to do first thing in the morning is play "search and fetch" with my clock by maybe having to crawl around to do it because this little mindless, aggravating, two-wheeled rug-mongrel decided to take a trip under the bed.

No thanks. Snooze works for me.

I think if anyone is at a point in their life where they need a clock like this, waking up in the morning is the least of their issues! :P
