Pro-Active Furniture Assembly

Posted by Hemos on from the no-don't-put-it-in-there dept.

Gudlyf writes "Stavros Antifakos, of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, has designed "clever" furniture pieces with built-in microprocessors that could relieve the confusion, anger and frustration of putting them together. The idea includes a flat-pack furniture kit whose parts are fitted with cheap microprocessors that monitor what you are doing during assembly and will warn you if you are doing something wrong or dangerous."

    If you are so stupid and inept that you are unable to put together an Ikea table, you don't deserve to enjoy the benefits of said table. Instead, go outside and play in trafic to clear the gene pool of your twisted little chromz after depositing the contents of your bank account into an Open Source project fund.
