A gadget, that was created by a Swedish inventor, Fredrik Colting, calculates a person’s life expectancy based on the personal data of its wearer. The Tikker demands
to enter information about your lifestyle, medical history, bad habits,
any instances of cancer, diabetes and other serious diseases in their
family.
They
are also asked how much exercise they do, how much they weigh before
receiving a score. And when the questionnaire is done, their age is
deducted from the results to predict a death date. Besides, the
so-called ‘death watch’ works as a regular watch, but its main function
is to help people make the most of their life and cherish the time they
have left.
“Imagine
someone told you that you only had one year left to live. How would
that change your life? For all of us, life comes with a best-before
date. While death is non-negotiable, life isn’t. All we have to do is
learn how to cherish the time and the life that we have been given;
seize the day and follow our hearts,” said Mr Colting, who came up with the idea when his grandfather passed away.
The
top row of the watch’s digital display shows years, months and days,
while the second row counts down hours, minutes and seconds. The bottom
row shows the local time. The watch is now available to buy online
£49.99 ($80.97)
Our politicians needs this type of watch so that it can deter them from amassing unnecessary wealth for themselves.
