The Issue

What went wrong with the cute and harmless device?  It was working fine, why did Jannet eventually lose it?

The main issue with this device is that the designers made it without considering the user.  While on the surface the device seems harmless as it can easily help break bad procrastination habits through using research, it actually ignores the user's desires.  There is no way to turn off the device as it consistently bothers and invades the user's life, while seemingly trying to help.  This is one of the main issues with IoT devices: making devices that are too intrusive and can't be turned off.  To prevent these issues, IoT designs need to consider the idea of ambient devices and having information readily available when the user wishes to see it, instead of bothering the user with it.
