Ever wanted a clock that would tell you the best time to use the internet? How about one in awesome neon colors? Well maybe one day… Thanks to Goldsmith, University London, who is developing the clock in conjunction with the country’s largest broadband provider, TalkTalk.
“This router is essentially a twenty-four hour clock divided into half hourly segments. As a reaction to the broadband signal, a different traffic light colour indicates bandwidth strength at each interval.
It is, in design, an object of reflection – helping the user to manage their time online more efficiently, understanding and making the most of bandwidth strength in the local area throughout the day.”
You can check out the clock, and some other nifty router technology Goldsmith is working on, in newfangled moving pictures after the jump.
