Death occuring on 12.01.2018

If you knew today that you would die in 20 years, would you do something differently? What about 10 years, or 5 years?

If you knew today that you are going to die in 1 year and 2 days, would you change your life today?

Apparently there is a watch coming out this year, a watch that will be able to calculate the approximate date of your death.

In 2005, Steve Jobs told a class of graduating students at Stanford University, “for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’"

The idea of the watch is that we should live each day like it was our last and value the time we have, do things that do matter and make a difference.

“Tikker will be there to remind you to make most of your life, and most importantly, to be happy.”

A new watch called Tikker claims to have created a way to calculate approximately when, according to its creators, a person is likely to die, and then to input that date into a wristwatch. 

“Tikker is a wrist watch that counts down your life from years to seconds, and motivates you to make the right choices,” the company, which is a Kickstarter-project-turned-real-thing, writes on its site. “Tikker will be there to remind you to make most of your life, and most importantly, to be happy.”

The creator of Tikker is Fredrik Colting, a 37-year-old Swede with an original idea!

It’s not an entirely bizarre idea, though. We tend to value things that are scarce, and death is, after all, a scarcity of life. Thinking about death can make us appreciate life more, and it can also make us into better people. For example, when researchers told subjects to imagine dying in an apartment fire, and then asked them a series of questions, the participants showed less greed, more spirituality, and more gratitude.

The first Tikkers will ship in April. And while you can’t put a price on the icy breath of your impending demise, one watch will set you back $59. You can already pre-order under: http://mytikker.com/

Would you want to know the date of your death? I am sure that many of us would live in a very different way, including myself.
