Eco Factor: Hi-tech stick for the elderly made from sustainable materials.
South Korea-based industrial designer Taewan Kim has made sure that when old, you’ll not have to leave your hi-tech gadgets at home because you just can’t carry them. Kim has designed a hi-tech walking stick that apart from providing the silver aged with the much needed support gives them a touch of technology.
The Net Stick has been designed with a portable, energy-efficient computer and a small LCD display that provides different types of information and with its GPS system it also ensures that the old never forget their way back home. With its simple, intuitive design, Net-Stick helps the user to approach people around them with confidence. Since the Net Stick is made from energy saving materials and makes use of eco-friendly technology, it helps the environment too.
The Dark Side:
With little details on how the technology is supposed to work, we don’t think that critically evaluating the Net Stick would be right.
