The thing I love most about alarm clocks is that although their primary function is to wake you up, there's always a get-out clause.
Yes, that's right, the snooze function:
Not in the mood for work today? No problem! Give it a whack and you've got another 10 minutes of uninterrupted shuteye....
....BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Still the idea of earning a living not setting your world alight? Smack! 10 more minutes. In fact this cycle of bitesize beddy-bye can run indefinitely. Hooray!
But wait, something wicked this way comes (or scurries away actually) that threatens to destroy all this hard-won shirking. Curses!
The Clocky has to be one of the most effective gadgets in its field. The simple premise is that it goes off as any alarm clock would, but then makes a dash for freedom (blurry-eyed bed-head in tow), pegging it around the room on it's little wheels looking for somewhere to hide and won't shut up until explicitly made to do so. It's quite brilliant really.
Could this mean the end of snooze as we know it?
Well there's always a chance at breakfast, face down in a bowl of cornflakes.
Why is it pointless?
You're a robot and have no need for this human design flaw known as 'sleep'
Why is it cool?
It's a clock...that runs away. It runs away.
