The (up)right way to work

monk_robot_1

Let’s face it. We’re slowly approaching the future shown to us by Wall-E. We’ve become lazy and we spend most of our work time in a chair. That’s why we need gizmos like the Monk. Monk is a light up robo toy that tells you when you’ve been sitting down for too long. All you have to do then is to pick the monk up, and walk around for bit. Such a smart, fun and elegant solution, right?!
