Day of the Triffids
I'm not sure if I would find this piece of kit entertaining or just creepy (pun intended) The rather strange folks at The Play Coalition have designed a mobile plant pot that will seek out the best position for it's leafy passenger. It seems that these guys who describe themselves as, 'a group of people who love to design things that are often functional but usually just fun', just like the odd and clever ideas. I must admit, a hoodie that converts to a bag is clever but ultimately useless. What do you do when the bag is full and you need to put your clothes on again? Didn't think of that one, did they? The PlantBot however scares the whatis out of me. If you have ever read 'The Day of the Triffids' by John Wyndham, you will know what I mean. It could be entertaining though to see how a visitor to your house would deal with a plant that started to move by itself - good for Halloween I suppose. Hmmm! That gives me an idea.
