Anti-Snooze Timekeepers

The Ramos Alarm Clock Will Change Your Mornings

— February 17, 2012 — Unique
The snooze button, an option that completely negates the entire purpose of why you bought an alarm clock in the first place, may be a thing of the past with the emergence of the Ramos Alarm Clock. Yes, there have been innovations to curb the easy access of the snooze option, such as the Clock on Wheels, but a dedicated snoozer can quickly muster up a remedy to most of these innovations.

The Ramos Alarm Clock is different, however, as it requires you to use a defuse panel. Once the required "wake up time" has been set, the user programs a deactivation code into a portable, wireless panel that can be placed anywhere in the house (the further away from your bed the better). When the alarm goes off, you have to walk to the panel, enter in the code and hopefully by the time you've done all that, you'll be stimulated enough to start your day. Set for release in August, a Ramos Alarm Clock can be reserved via Kickstarter.
Trend Themes
1. Anti-snooze Devices - The emergence of the Ramos Alarm Clock has created an opportunity for further innovation in developing novel devices that help people wake up without hitting snooze.
2. Interactive Alarm Clocks - The increased use of interactive panels in the Ramos Alarm Clock could offer a potential avenue for integrating voice-activated technology, allowing users to set alarms and control other smart devices.
3. Personalized Alarm Clocks - The Ramos Alarm Clock's wireless panel allows users to place it anywhere, meaning its successors could potentially include personalized features like location-based reminders, temperature sensors, or personalized wake-up sounds.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Companies in consumer electronics could leverage the success of the Ramos Alarm Clock by developing similar anti-snooze devices that appeal to consumers' desire for an easier wake-up routine.
2. Smart Home - The interactive panel in the Ramos Alarm Clock could inspire innovation in the smart home industry, with voice-activated options and the integration with other smart home devices for more seamless and automated experiences.
3. Wearable Technology - The wireless panel in the Ramos Alarm Clock could encourage development in wearable tech that could be used to activate and deactivate alarm clocks or perform other tasks without the need for a physical device.
