So being the type of person who ends up spending endless hours in a physio’s office - no he isn’t hot - I do see potential in this little gadget. I’m quite sure that most people are spending more and more time at the computer and as the hours spent on
Facebook increase (and no, this isn’t something I would ever do) your posture goes from up straight to bent over like a geriatric ostrich. But now there is finally a way around this… I mean
who needs ergonomic furniture anyway?
So what is this new product you ask? The
VISIOMATE from
Thanko, is a USB plug-in which sits on your monitor and shouts at you when you are
sitting badly or too close to the screen – and yes the Chinese did invent this.
Though I could see this little device being a tad disruptive at the
Quirk office – little electronic voices shouting abuse at various hunched over
QuirkStars, I bet we'd see fewer hunch-backs in the future. Although I am wondering what this little gadget shouts at you, I do hope the picture isn’t too much of indication...
I cannot seem to find a price for this gadget, but I will let you know if I do find out. Oh and if you are bored, go check out the other gadgets that Thanko makes. There are
some amazingly weird products including the
ass warmer (no, I’m not kidding) and the
mouse warmer just to mention a few…
Ass warmer - oooooooooooh.
