« Apple Patents Include Haptic Feedback and Fingerprint ID For Upcoming iPhones
LG Wants The #2 Spot, Targeting Samsung and The iPhone »

Going to college next year? You might want to take one of these Study Balls with you. Curiosite has released a device to force students to study. Attached to a 20-pound ball is a timer that you shackle yourself to. The shackle won’t come off until the timer goes off and your study time is over.

Here’s a little more info from the site:

“The Study Ball gadget($115) is a prison-style ball and chain that you can program to keep track of how much time you spend studying. Once you’ve selected the desired duration, you chain the ball to your ankle and the manacle won’t come off until the schedule study time is up.”

If you’re a student who can’t focus then you need one of these to force yourself to study. They cost $115, are made of highly durable steel and weighs in at around 20.95 pounds. I wouldn’t try to move around with it. Maybe you can kill two birds with one stone by working out with these things on. You’ll end up with some pretty muscular legs.

I have one question. what if there is an emergency and the time has not run out yet? :)

hahaahah this is a hilarious idea! i can think of at least 3 people who DEFINITELY need this to study! :) great post!

I need this lol. But it seems so evil.

^i agree it would keep me on task more often

LOL Parents and teachers would love this toy! Parents won’t have to worry about their kids running away to avoid studying and teachers can contain those students who act up.
