Previous study suggest that, people are afraid of death. Evident to that is the occurrence of organic products for health and other cosmetics that promotes younger looks. These are just few of the manifestation that people would like maintain the youthful body.
However, with coming of a watch called "Tikker" that is said to predict death. When the watch was release in the public, it earns a negative feedback due to the product's slogan "count down to death". "I don't think such watch that can predict death, it's ridiculous", Lanny White, a college student said.
The said watch cost $39, which is affordable enough compare to other brands. "We are trying to see if the people will support the watch by having it low cost", Dough Smith says, developer of the said watch.
He added that he develop the watch because he wanted to live that long, and would like to have a watch that can count his time down. "You can set the timer for how many years in advance", he added.
The concept of the watch is simple, "to set time for countdown", Dough said. The wearer can set it up; fill the question which includes the age. When the age is finally filled up, the watch will finally deduct the age entered to the current age, and then the TIKKER watch will finally start the countdown. You can reset the watch as much as you would like, "I might set mine every Tuesday to cheat my death", Dough jokingly commented. He added that he wants to die at the year of 2142.
Psychologist Anne Dwane said in one of his column entitle "Why People Afraid Of Death" says that, these people have a traumatic experience with regards to death, that is why they want to develop a thing that would remind them that death is predictable. "I am not surprise about this watch that can predict death", she said.
