When Monsters Mean Good
Bringing in a bunch of eco-friendly and adorable looking monsters into the picture, designer Anastasia Bondarenko hopes to ignite the passion for conservation amongst the young guns. Devices equipped with sensors help them figure out if fresh air is required or electricity is being wasted. Take a look at the cute video that explains it all.

How Your Phone Can Save You Money
There are hundreds of thousands of mobile apps out there for everything from playing movies and games to shopping. But not every app is designed to make you spend money. There are many really great apps that can actually help you keep more money in your pocket. Here are just a few of my top picks for apps designed to save your cold hard cash.
Level Money (Android/iOS)
This app automatically tracks your income and bills directly from your bank account, and provides feedback on your disposable income. It works with most major US banks, and provides real-time updates on your spendable funds on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. You can also set savings goals, and those will be automatically figured into your budget. Level reinforces positive spending habits every day, and without the need for cumbersome spreadsheets.

RedLaser (Android/iOS/Windows Phone)
Wondering if you’re getting the best price possible on purchases? Simply scan them with RedLaser, and it will run the item through their price comparison engine, searching for the best deal. And if you like to shop locally, it’ll even help you find the best price in your area. It also holds virtual copies of rewards cards for major retailers, and offers daily coupons.

Kayak (Android/iOS/Windows Phone/Kindle Fire)
Travelers will love this app, which can search thousands of airlines, hotels, and rental car companies for the best possible travel deals. It’s easy to use, saves itineraries, tracks flight status, and can notify you automatically when the price of a specific trip changes.

GasBuddy (Android/iOS/Windows Phone/BlackBerry)

SavedPlus (Android/iOS)
While SavedPlus doesn’t get you discounts or cash back, it helps you put money away in savings automatically, which can certainly pay off in the long run. Every time you shop and spend money, the app will automatically transfer a pre-set percentage of the amount into your savings account(s), and can forecast your long-term savings from using the app.

Single-Person Cooking
S.I.A.M. fits perfectly into the kitchen of a singleton. It’s basically a built-in hood and induction cooker. Ideal for quick dishes that require stir-frying, the cooker folds up when not in use. The action of opening and closing the cooker, automatically switches it on or off. I kinda like its form and I think it will fit well in a compact kitchen.
Designers: Hye-Rim Lee and Tae-Ryung Byun

Unmonitored Bathtub
The Water Lock is an automatic water meter and a locking device for use on bathtub taps. What you need to do is simply set the desired volume of water for the bath and let the bathtub fill up unmonitored. You generally know how much water you would like to fill in for your bath, so after the set amount has been filled, the flow automatically stops. So you end up avoiding overspill, wastages and have the freedom to do other stuff while you run up your bath water.
Water Lock simultaneously records and displays the water volume. When the water is flowing, it is ‘on’. When the flow is terminated, Water Lock is ‘off’. It uses the principle of a combination padlock for its operation and doesn’t require electricity.
Water Lock is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
