Simplicity is not only elegance, but also practical – as justified by the Genesis Horizon mobile device concept. Envisaged by San Francisco-based designer Arthur Kenzo as an emergency cell phone for both elderly people and children, the bantam device espouses simplicity with only two buttons that serve a range of effective purposes.
The primary advantage of the Genesis Horizon would pertain to its wireless features that will always remain connected with an emergency service. To that end, the main button can be pressed to make a call to the emergency center on a 24/7 basis. This conscientious scope is further complemented by the cell phone’s built-in GPS tracker that keeps remote tab on the person using the phone. In essence, the emergency service can keep real-time track of your loved ones, in case they have wandered off, or have entered any particular location.
The secondary advantage of the Genesis Horizon is related to an alerting system that can be synchronized with your daily timetable. This integrated system is nigh perfect for people who are on medication. How so? Well, the device can easily remind the person when he/she needs to take the medicines, while at the same time being not too intrusive on their daily activities (which is occasionally the case when an actual human being tries to remind the said person – like when sons or daughters try to remind their old parents, in an unintentionally admonishing tone).
And, at the end of the day, all of these nifty attributes are finally topped with a clean, aesthetic design. This uncluttered visual ambit in many ways symbolizes the simple family connections that can be made stronger with both technology and unobtrusiveness.
