The gizmo makers are certainly very creative minds. They are always coming out with real innovative gizmos, some of which are weird too. Recently in news was the electronic toaster which resembled a printer (In fact, this idea had bagged second prize at Berner Design Awards). And its outer functions also resemble the way a bread toaster functions. The Printer Toaster, I feel, is a perfect office printer. (Put the bread from top, and get the toasted bread at the bottom)
And now we have a door mat device concept which comes with a digital scale to tell you your body weight. Innovative! A door mat every time you step on, will tell you how much you weigh currently, what was weight in the past and how much you should weigh in future? Whoa! This will work like some fitness trainer, constantly pointing out to you your body weight.
Those on the healthier side should definitely make use of this door mat cum body weighing machine. But for that they have got to wait for the concept to get actualized and be out in the market. (In fact, people in good health can also use the door mat to continue to keep themselves in proper shape).
Another similar concept which came out back in 2008 is that of the door mat alarm clock. Personally, I feel this is the best alarm clock ever. Why? What else would you say about an alarm clock which made you actually get out the bed to let it stop ringing? Yes, the door mat alarm clock actually makes you do that.
The alarm in the door mat doesn’t stop unless you get out of the bed, and put both your legs on it. So, this creative device forces you to wake up and get out of the bed. Didn’t I say it’s the best alarm clock ever?
