Pace of Life

These “pace adapting devices,” aimed mockingly at tech-savvy tourists and business men, are equipped with GPS devices that locate the wearer in cities around the world, and begin to blink at the pace that people walk in that city. Statistics for the pace that the average person walks in each city come from the research of social psychologists Richard Wiseman and Robert Levine. [Watch is programmed to the pace of NYC and shoes are programmed to the pace of Bern, Switzerland.]
