A UK college kid has created a prototype show that could be key to reducing the obesity problem in the World: The Square Eye. It’s a shoe with that measures how much activity its wearer has done, then allows a comparable amount of television watching. If you get a lot of exercise, you can watch a lot of TV. Sit around all day and the TV remains dark. While the device is targeted at kids, they should make an adult version as well.
