running alarm clocks- lauren
The article I am doing my journal entry on is called Snooze-Button Abusers Could be In for a Race Against Time With the ‘Clocky.’ It was written by Roger Vincent from the Los Angeles Times. It talks about a grad student named Gauri Nanda, who decided that he wanted to make an alarm clock that ran away after you hit the snooze button so that you could not keep hitting it over and over. College students, including himself, will sometimes go for hours repeatedly hitting the snooze button so they don’t have to get out of bed. So he ended up making an alarm clock that was soft and had wheels so that when you hit your snooze button, it would fall off the nightstand and roll to a random place so that when the alarm went off for the second time you would have to get up and find it. It was randomly programmed so that it would go to a different place every time. He is hoping that within a year they will be sold in the stores. I think this was a great idea.
