By : Have you heard about Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s newest invention? It’s a box covering up a light to keep you from watching the clock when you should be falling asleep.
Facebook Founder: Being a Mom is Hard. Here’s a Glowing Box to Show I Care
He built the contraption, called the “ box,” to help his wife through the night. His eureka moment came when he concluded that being a mom is hard.
This thoughtful invention was to show his wife he cares – at least enough to build her a glowing wooden box.
But here’s the thing, and the catch. The CEO shared his invention on his , apparently thinking that an entrepreneur could turn it into the hottest-selling childcare item since the velcro swaddle.
“A bunch of my friends have told me they’d want something like this, so I’m putting this out there in case another entrepreneur wants to run with this and build boxes for more people!”
According to Zuckerberg, the device works like a charm, in that it saves his wife from having to check the clock – or her smartphone.
And since it doesn’t show the time, if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she knows to just go back to without having to worry about what time it is.
She KNOWS to just go back to ! Hilarious.
Twitter Roasts Mark Zuckerberg’s Sleep Box
On its face, this box seems to be a way over-the-top solution to a problem. I’ve wrestled with with an alarm clock in the bedroom. I covered it up, and then eventually got it out of there.
I didn’t have to share my solution on Instagram. I didn’t pass it off as an invention other entrepreneurs worth their salts could consider pursuing. My friends would laugh heartily in my face!
But we’re talking about Zuckerberg here, and the Twitter-verse quickly called him out for sharing the device as if it was some great leap forward in human ingenuity.
I love how the Zuckerbergs think they are sharing some great knowledge. They are totally detached from reality. The only way they will come back down to earth is to lose all their money

Alternative genius idea: plug a small nightlight into a timer switch for less than $10.

Hey Mark…what about an alarm that goes off on your iPhone. It’s available in many sounds. What’s next? A night light in a box? Mark Zuckerberg built a glowing ‘ box’ to help his wife snooze

Others poked fun related to Facebook’s previous hacking issues.
Please. Someone. Hack. The. Sleep. Box.

Altogether, the Mark Zuckerberg roast proved virtually as hilarious as the device itself.
I had to read this about 3 times before I realised Zuckerberg hasn’t just made a box for his wife to in.

No matter the reason Zuckerberg chose to share his box, it’s getting the buzz that the social media giant founder enjoys. It sure beats the heck out of making headlines for another !
