Are you the type who needs a slap to wake you up in the morning? In this case, some connected objects will make you happy. First on the podium, the bracelet Pavlok. Created by blogger Maneesh Sethi, it inflicts electric shocks when its user does not stick to their diet, training schedule, or waking up in the morning.
Its creator is not new to punitive experiences: he is known on the internet for having hired a woman to slap him every time he looked at his Facebook profile. He says he has quadrupled his productivity thanks to this technique. His bracelet would have helped him lose 13 kilos.
But for all those who prefer a little softer methods, there are other gadgets of the same type, “soft” version. LumoLift, a kind of pin used to correct bad postures, generates a small vibration to attract the attention of its user. To quit smoking, the lighter QuitBit records the number of uses to avoid lying about his cigarette consumption. Finally, to eat more slowly, the connected fork HapiFork vibrates whenever it is used too quickly.
