http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/340x_r104_1.jpgCredit cards (http://gizmodo.com/tag/creditcards/), by nature, dissociate us from our money at the price of convenience. But what if they were both easy to use and a means to promote responsible budgeting?
The Live Checking credit card (http://gizmodo.com/tag/livecheckingcreditcard/) snared a red dot design award for good reason—it's an excellent, feasible idea. A normal credit card is equipped with e-ink and RFID. Combined, the technologies track how much you've spent in real time and display it right on the card.
And given that the concept uses a black and white display, you're never in the red!
Now if only someone designs a mailbox that shows the whole neighborhood the equity in your home, we could avoid any future mortgage crisis without the need of all this governmental intervention.
