Gravity by Product design from spain
designer's own words:
Sustainable Internet router.
This is a design concept to educate the user on his excessive consumption of Internet data.
The dependency on the use of internet and mass storage in the cloud is causing the creation of more data servers. This causes the increase ever-increasing global warming.
By simulating gravity on the elastic membrane users may perceive the impact of their consumption.
The higher the weight of data is, the heavier gravity impact is on the membrane. Therefore there is an equivalence between consumption and the visual effect.
When use is moderated membrane is flat.When a preset limit is exceeded the membrane starts to sink in proportion to the impact generated.
Today the future looks uncertain. The need for technology in humans advancing at exponential levels. It is possible that we are still in time to change the future through sustainable use of technology and resources. Let's anticipate it.
