A friend sent me this the other day. “Ridiculous?” he asked. “Or brilliant?”
My answer? Ridiculous. Sure, a yard-sized sprinkler system wastes water. But this roomba-meets-squirt gun? Please! There’s zero improvement in methodology. It waters the leaves of plants, a classic invitation for disease and increased evaporation (learn why
drip irrigation reduces water and increases productivity). It had me flashing back to last season’s portrayal of nerdy tech guys “
making the world a better place” on HBO’s Silicon Valley. Well, that, and the days of cats wearing shark costumes and riding roombas. Put a kitty on a
Droplet, and maybe then we’ll be talking.[youtube
