Tocky, pictured here [click on the image to see Tocky in action], is the new advanced-engineering sibling of Clocky, the alarm clock that runs away and hides, repeatedly, thus ensuring that people DO get out of bed, and thus theoretically adding many productive hours to the workday. Clocky moved on wheels. Tocky is wheel-less, being itself quasi-spherical.
Gauri Nanda, inventor, Clocky’s (and now Tocky’s) inventor, was awarded the 2005 Ig Nobel Prize in economics.
