New Keyboard Accessory Shocks Users When They Try To Go On Facebook

cartechboy writes "Two Ph.D. students from MIT have created a keyboard accessory, the Pavlov Poke, that shocks you every time you go onto Facebook. The project comes as a result of the students finding the waste over 50 hours a week combined on the social network (instead of working on their dissertations) So the pair created an Arduino-based keyboard hand-rest that shocks computer users who spend too much time checking the social network. The hack is 'intended to generate discussion' — not actually turn into a business." Inventor Robert Morris describes it as "something of a joke," but I'm sure there's a market out there.

No need for this device, you just fire the fucks who are Facebooking on the companies dime.

You're at the office to work, not post pictures of what you did last night and chat with your friends. Its not play time, its not fun time. Its work. Do your damn job and go play on the Internet on your own fucking time asshole.
