Thanks to the RFID technology, the bag knows where and how many times its owner takes out his wallet. In this way, the iBag creates a map of "dangerous areas" which it updates or consults when. On the move. So as soon as the owner enters a red area, the bag sends a warning sms. A GPS chip controls LED lights inside the bag which start flashing, putting it on alert as soon as the owner enters the consumer danger zone.
iBag was created on the occasion of the Australian company's poll results Credit Card Finder published on the website www.creditcardfinder.com.au. As the poll revealed, one in four owners creditς cards he does not repay the balance of his account each month. The same company therefore developed the smart bag, with the aim of helping people who cannot control their money.
"Many Australians are out of control when it comes to managing their credit card and they do not realize the economic impact of their spontaneous and often ridiculous consumer fury," says Michel Hutchinson, head of public relations at the company.
