2. Human alarm clock
Don't they still do this within, say, hotels?
- ubernostrum 12y agoIt's getting less common. Many hotels now have an automated system where you punch in a time on the phone's number pad and it stores it and robo-dials you.

- waitwaitwhay 12y agoI actually use such a service at home sometimes. If I am supposed to take an important early flight, I use a service called "Personlig väckning" - Personal wakeup. Its been around forever. You call them, tell them that you want to be woken up at 04. They call you at that time. Its a bit safer option than the alarm clock for me. Because I actually have to answer the phone, say good morning and say my name to confirm they called the right number. One time they called me again because I didnt sound fullt awake. Of course there a modern solutions to this problem but I kind of like the "human contact aspect" of it. It costs like $5.
- wingerlang 12y agoThat's pretty neat, is it Eniros? Never knew it existed. I like the personal aspect of it. And on that topic I remember the recent app "Wakie" [0] that has a similar concept, maybe more towards the fun aspect. [0] http://wakie.com/ http://wakie.com/
