NOBEL PRIZE 2005

Hello everybody!!

Today I am going to write a very interesting post about a famous girl that won the Novel Prize, in 2005. Gauri Nanda won the Novel Prize with a very ingenious invention: an alarm clock. I have chose this invention, because is very strange and usefull. The next text will explain you better this strange invention Gauri.

Few would deny that the first thing they do when the alarm clock goes off in the morning is hit that snooze button, and go right back to sleep.

An ingenious creation by inventor and entrepreneur Gauri Nanda is aimed at making the alarm clock a little bit harder to ignore. The clock has a mind of its own, so to speak: after it goes off, if the user hits the snooze button, it literally jumps off the table, rolls away, and hides elsewhere in the room, forcing the user to get out of bed and find it when the alarm sounds again minutes later. 

Nanda came up with the product, dubbed "Clocky," as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she participated in the MIT Media's Lab's Object-Based Media Research Group. Born in Rochester Hills, Michigan, in 1980, she earned a B.S. from the University of Michigan and entered MIT's media arts and sciences program where she focused on electronics-embedded clothing. She completed her M.S. in 2005. 

Nanda created Clocky in 2004 when asked to create a practical product for an industrial design course. 

She has made numerous national media appearances in newspapers and magazines and on television programs such as "Good Morning America". She also gained attention by winning the Ig Nobel Prize for Economics in 2005 for "Clocky." She has several other products in the works in addition to Clocky, all designed to bring technology into everyday life in unexpected ways.
