Great new gadet of the month
A new gadget has been launched in Japan to encourage people to walk, it shows how much it would have cost you to travel in a taxi instead of walking. Great idea. Not only does the owner have the benefit of having walked and burnt off some calories but they can also feel the warm glow of satisfaction knowing that they’ve saved cash.
TaxiWalker, as the device is known, has enjoyed some good sales. It is based on a simple pedometer and clips to the users belt.
