Google's Talking Shoes

Google has released Talking Shoes that motivate you to get moving.

It is the perfect invention for anyone who needs a gentle reminder to get off the sofa. Google has invented a talking shoe that can sense activity – and inactivity – and tells the wearer when they need to get moving. Fitted with a host of gadgets that measure movement, direction and balance, the built-in microprocessor connects to an audio speaker in the tongue of the Adidas trainer.

When you are working out they can say

"Call 911, you are on fire"

"I love the feel of the wind in my laces".

"‘You have made me a very proud shoe."

When you are sitting down or relaxing it can say

"This is super boring"



Is this a Good Idea?

Is there anything sinister in this - like a tracking device?

I think it's a stupid idea myself.

Are people that lazy or dumb that they need their shoes to tell them to keep moving??

Maybe the need a smell-o-meter to tell them when to change their socks too.


star for the laugh.

In times to come, we'll all be getting screamed at constantly by anything with a microchip.

Ever been patronized by a shoe? You have now!
