Seriously, folks, this is not what we do with your tips when you hit Share up there in the masthead. I swear. Well, for most of them, anyway. This is actually a concept trashcan build on a popular meme.
Says designer Burak Kaynak, the ‘can was conjoured up after seeing all the Share buttons that populate the Internet these days. Why not apply it trash? And so he did:
Sharing content on social networking sites is as simple as stepping on a foot pedal to open the lid and toss your trash. Share//Trash Can is a smart step-on trash can which includes a LED – live counter that counts the amount of steps that are stepped on the foot pedal.
I guess in the end I really don’t see the point. Is it to shame you into wasting less, in this particular trashcan, so that you’ll just go down the hall and use the next one? [Burak Kaynak – Thanks, Camila]
