Just a little bit closer...
Just a little bit closer....
I hear driving while texting is a problem out in L.A. Here in New York it's walking while texting. On at least a weekly basis I'm stuck behind some idiot on the sidewalk who's moving like two miles an hour with his nose buried in his phone. I keep praying he'll walk into an open manhole, become flattened by a falling piano or be wiped off the sidewalk by a swinging wrecking ball, but apparently the patron saint of 1920s Slapstick Deaths has better things to do than listen to me.
If there's a single shot of a product design that could sum up this sad state of affairs, where every spare second you have requires you keep your eyes glued to your phone, it's this:
That's the Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl, designed by NYC-based MisoSoupDesign. And it's real, they're currently taking pre-orders. If they can figure out how to rig up a harness so you can wear this while walking, they're going to have a serious hit on their hands.

Prepare yourself to clean the screen up every time you have a bowl of soup!
Hell in a ramen bowl.
+1 IDAL. If you aren't splattering you aren't doing it right. Needs a clear cover. Believe there was a Chindogu concept pretty similar to this.
Looks like it will tip over, and what about if you don't have a F%#$! iPhone?
it's gloomy, please take your time eat with somebody...
we are humans.
This product is everything that's wrong with America. If only they had filled it with Cheesy Poofs...
Gives a new meaning to Immersive Experience
Na guys, it probably has mini wipers that pop out every time the iphone senses ramen broth on its screen.
Ahhhh, technology...
Aaand what about the ability to push the home button? Seems you'll be locked into 1 app. And no landscape! Not going to watch YouTube in damn portrait. Worthless.
Forever Alone Guy product design?
