Walking Shoes: the perfect accessory for any smartphone.
Walking—we know it’s good for us.
Not only is it good exercise, but it also can help us reduce our carbon footprint by getting us from point A to point B.
Yet, so often many of us neglect this simple form of transportation.
Perhaps it’s a lack of motivation, drive or incentive.
Well, you can say goodbye to those excuses. Like every other aspect of our modern world, there will soon be an app for that.
In an attempt to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, Londoners who walk (or bike) around town with their smartphone will soon be reaping some extra rewards.
Using a new app that logs their distance traveled and rewards them accordingly; the technologically savvy and physically active citizens of London can earn points redeemable at shops and restaurants.
It’s the perfect exercise program, combining the human need for physical activity with the human desire to get free stuff.
If this trend catches on, there could be a future of trimmer waistlines and heavier wallets.
Now if we can just figure out a way to reward people for proper smartphone etiquette, we’d have a nearly perfect society.
