Weirdest Tech of 2017
Hushme
If you work in an office environment, this device is for you. Need to focus but your coworkers are being a little too loud? Use the Hushme. It sort of looks like a torture device, but Hushme is the “first face mask for mobile phones…Hushme can be worn as a standard neckband-style wireless headphone — it has integrated ear buds — or in “masking” mode, which allows you to muffle your conversations.” This gadget is completely necessary and you won’t look strange at all to your coworkers rocking this thing in the office.

Ekko Connected Mirror

But can I program this thing to tell me I’m hot stuff every single day?
Lovebox
Don’t let this seemingly innocent wooden box fool you. The Lovebox displays the love messages you receive on a little mirror to be admired. “Once the LoveBox is placed and plugged-in, you can send them private messages, at anytime of the day or night. When messages arrive, the LoveBox’s heart starts spinning and keeps doing until the loved one opens its top and reads your sweet words.” Make sure to bring this out on the first date.
