The Human Vending Machine

Japanese innovation. The Human Vending Machine is an oddity among a world engulfed with technological insight at every corner. This lo-fi vending machine, when compared to the Cmode vending machines of today which mix mobile phone technology with money transfer, might seems laughable, but we think it’s a strong statement.
It might take you a few more minutes to get your Coke, but the human touch is something we really have been missing from our lives the last few years. There are two separate windows. One for children / little people snackers, and one for big people snackers. If you happen to be in Japan, you might want to check out this novelty while it still exists. — Andrew Dobrow

All In One Japensese Sink: You wash? No, iWash

[ev type="youtube" data="LiW20i_LcfI"][/ev]

Japanese innovation never ceases to amaze us. Especially when the ideas are the kind that make you think to yourself, “Now why the hell didn’t I think of that?”. The All in one Sink featured in this video is one of those things.

The sink has a motion detector for both the soap dispenser and the faucet, but also fits the hand blow dryer right into the damn sink. Motion detection and all. We just hope that those electronics are properly hidden from the water exposure.

So come on you damn American engineers. Make us some all in one sinks. We got stuff to do and gadgets to try! — Andrew Dobrow
