Manodo's screen gives apartment dwellers the 411

Those looking for another good reason to set up camp in Sweden have just found it. Okay, so maybe Manodo's oh-so-informative display isn't that astonishing, but it certainly gives a select few apartment residents in the country access to an enviable amount of information. Reportedly, the screen is being installed in several Swedish cities as part of a larger pilot project, and aside from dishing out details about the next available train, who exactly is standing outside their building and how much energy folks are currently consuming, it also serves up data on how many pounds of CO2 you're responsible for releasing while kicking back in your pad. Unfortunately, we're not sure if said solution is available en masse (or if it ever will be).

Great Idea....

Embarrass people into conserving energy....

I wonder how much energy it takes to do that...

How many units of energy were consumed - and how many gallons of greenhouse gas were produced in the construction of this piece of sh*t so that it could sit on the wall and tell us how unworthy we are?

We all know deep down inside that these have webcams in them. 1984 FTW!

I was sold until you started yapping about the "energy" and the "CO2".

If I wanted a guilt-trip, a classy hooker with a riding whip would be so much more fun...
