The tikker shows that predicts the time we have left to live

For the designer, this show will help people make the most of their remaining time. It has launched a campaign on Kickstarter to fund the project.


Vrai projet ou fake ?
Real project or fake?
While the giants of high-tech embark turn in connected watches the tikker brand offers a product that predicts the date and time of the passage of the Grim Reaper. To set the clock, you must respond to the health questionnaire included with the product and calculates the time left to the user before his death. You go paragliding? You have cholesterol? Do you smoke? This may cause you to lose a certain number of minutes or hours.
The first row of numbers on the screen informs the user of the number of years, months and days before his death. The second row shows how many hours, minutes and seconds. Finally, the latest figures simply show the time.
The idea is currently in the planning stage ... and seems to appeal. The creator of the tikker watch, Swedish Fredrik Colting, has launched on the crowdfunding site, Kickstarter campaign to raise 25,000 dollars and pledges have already reached 33,000 dollars. The watch will cost $ 59 and should be available by April 2014. Finally, if it is not a fake.
Interviewed by the Daily Mail, Fredrik Colting explains that "death is a taboo in our modern society. I think if we recognize that we still have time, we will surely better life choices. "
The question that we ask in writing 01net, this is what will happen to the personal information collected. They remain "locked" in each watch or stored on a server? At the risk of them end up in the hands of companies looking for better information we "know".
