Consultant IT-technology (IT- Information Technology: programming, data processing) Nat Morris also loved his dog Toby.

However, due to strong employment does not always had the opportunity in time to feed Toby. Hungry dog ​​finally has advised 30-year-old technician for the invention of the machine, which would feed the dog on a signal from the outside especially for such cases.



machine consists of a container with food, equipped with automatic dispenser, which is triggered by a signal derived from the Internet through your account on Twitter. The signal consists of the wordsFeedToby, which Nat wrote on Twitter when he wants to feed Toby. As you can see, everything is very simple. Feed small portions through the dispenser pours directly into the bowl on the floor and Toby fed and happy.

-First Toby could not understand what was happening, -rasskazyvaet Nat Morris - But he's a smart dog and quickly grasped what was happening. Now he regularly sits near a bowl, wagging its tail and waiting for work when the dispenser.



Inspired by the success of the design, Nat did not stop there, and attached to the device, and even a video camera to see if Toby got what he wanted, and it can be necessary to add a little more.

Now the brilliant inventor thinks hard to patent his device, and at the same time over how to solve the problem of feeding Toby other Twitter users. After all, hearing about Nat's invention, many began to write in twitter feedFeedToby and accordingly began to pour into a bowl Toby more often. While Nat limited time machine, putting it only from 9 am to 10 pm.

 - I have an idea to add a scale that would be measured by the weight sitting on the floor, Toby and thus evaluated whether it is now or wait to feed it. I did not want my Toby turned into Tubby (a play on words - «Tubby» translated as "barrel", "fat»).
