As a perpetual abuser of the snooze button, my immediate reaction to this clock was one of covetous awe. I find the sound made by my alarm clock so odious that I cringe visibly when I hear the noise on a television commercial or in a movie. Even though I am already wide awake. So I can only imagine how effectively a rolling, hiding, chirping Clocky would get me moving in the morning. We're talking about a speed index of which cheetahs and Carl Lewis can only dream.
But then I wondered: this is only a prototype? I can't get one now? Really? I'm sure I know people who have guaranteed crack-of-dawn wake-up devices roaming their homes, lingering just barely out of reach of their sleep-befuddled owners, refusing to cease their rousing screeches until they receive sufficient attention.
Oh. They call those "children." And I suppose they come with a few more strings attached. Perhaps I'll sign myself up for the Clocky waiting list, after all.
