A Toy for Fidgety People Has Outraised Its Goal By Millions Of Dollars
A gadget that’s bristling with features to be fidgeted with is soaring to the top of invention made in 2016.
The Fidget Cube, a hand-held toy that’s covered in various buttons, switches, and clickers, is a new project with the second largest number of backers and investors for a gadget this year.
There’s some evidence to suggest that fidgeting is good for you. One study showed that fidgeting could increase energy expenditure by up to 30%, potentially providing a way to combat a sedentary lifestyle. Another piece of research showed that fidgeting during a lecture helped the listener retain material from the presentation.
Let’s hope those thousands of Fidget Cube owners will be able to justify their purchases with productivity gains.
