ELECTRONIC FURNITURE - CYBER INDICATOR

CYBER INDICATOR (A clock linking between real world and cyber space)


Cyber indicator looks like a traditional clock. But this is the device for measuring the time how long you are staying in cyber space.
Nowadays, we are spending much more time in cyber space than in the past. And some people spend as much time in cyber space as they spend in the real world.
So I think we need a device that we indicates how much time we spend in cyber space and traces where we remain.


Concept 1 is a daily time indicator. It shows the time when you are in cyber space and what you are doing there.


Concept 2 is a monthly time indicator. It shows the pattern of your life style. We can find the pattern how you have move between cyber space and real world.
