I agree. My personal choice: they should have focused on "build your own personal digital alarm clock - make it snooze however you want: shouting at it, moving it or just placing the snooze button on a particular hard to reach place".

I had a speculative-design project in the back of my head, where objects physically evolve over successive versions, using only existing use data fed into a generative design. The alarm clock was the specific object I chose (what method of waking you up works the best for you?), and this would've been the perfect platform to realize it. Just a silly concept, but you need to come up with a reason to do millions of one-offs, rather than letting a designer doing her job well for a single universal model.
