You Gotta Walk Before You Watch
The BBC News reported on a new shoe that’s supposed to get kids exercising again. What’s the carrot? TV time.
The shoe – dubbed Square-eyes – has a unique insole that records the amount of exercise a child does and converts it into television watching time.
One button on the shoe – the brainchild of a student at west London’s Brunel University – records the number of steps taken by the child over the day.
Another transmits this information to a base station connected to the TV.
