Doesn’t This Just Say “Hack The Fuck Into Me And Unlock My Doors”?

 I thought that doing some kind of geekish-tech blog would make me appear smarter and therefore increase street cred. However, amongst futuristic Wall-E inspired fat chairs, I came across the Lockitron. Apart from the badass name that makes me think of ‘Transformers,’ this device seems like the pocket sized god of convenience.
            Motivated by the smartphone’s ability to act as a TV remote, start cars, pay for donuts and switch your lights on, the Lockitron filled in the void of not being able to unlock your doors. For $150, you can slip the sleek Lockitron box (yes I know that sounds kind of kinky) inside a deadbolt lock so that you can lock and unlock your doors from afar.

            If the idea of not needing keys anymore gives you a boner, the Lockitron also allows you to give your family and friends access as well as check the status of your doors. It even has Bluetooth 4 built in which allows the Lockitron to sense your iPhone 4S or iPhone5 so that your door will automatically open without you having to bat an eyelid.
            In conclusion, if this doesn’t sound like the world’s smartest thief realised a market gap in the fat-middle-aged-rich-people demographic, it could be a pretty convenient gadget.
