Life Clock

The Life Clock is a personalized, square-shaped wall clock containing N pixels, where N equals the total number of days from birth that the owner is expected to live. (Note: 80 years = 29200 days.) The past pixels are one color, the future pixels another. It’s a slow-changing clock, whose purpose is not to scare or depress people with their shrinking future days, but to inspire them to live life now to the fullest and most productive.

Since the precise date of demise cannot be predicted, the end days are shaded in some nice way indicating the most probable and somewhat less probable days on which the owner is expected to kick the bucket. The prediction is based on personal data and medical history plus actuarial tables built into the clock, and is updated whenever new data is added. Special days, like marriage, graduation, trip to Nepal, etc., can be highlighted in special color.
