Tweet from the grave
The 20 best concept designs of 2010 were recently named by the Red Dot Design Museum. Some really smart ideas made the list, like A-Check by Jung Eun Park (pictured below), a thermometer-like device you can insert into food to see if it contains common food allergens like milk, eggs or nuts – a must-have for eating out.
By far the strangest design to make the top 20 is the E-Tomb, “a tombstone that allows mourners to access the deceased’s online life and leave messages, anecdotes, pictures and logs that can be shared amongst family and friends.” Maybe this should be the grave marker for those who are definitely going to hell, because I can’t think of a better form of never-ending punishment and eternal damnation than all those meaningless tweets about Kanye West’s latest misstep or another one of Lady Gaga’s pantsless public appearances following you to the grave. In other words, make sure to untag yourself from any unsavory party pics on Facebook because your children and your grandchildren might just see it one day and stop leaving you flowers.
