For many of us, checking our bank balances can result in a nasty shock if they have been unable to control their spending habits.
 
对我们很多人来说,如果控制不了购物习惯,查看银行存款余额的时候就会目瞪口呆。
 
But now a British company is hoping to turn this into a real physical sensation.
 
A wristband that delivers a 255 volt1 electric shock can now be linked to bank accounts, to send a shock when the user's bank account reaches below a certain threshold.
 
The wristband was first launched in 2014 by a US-based company called Pavlok.
 
At first it was designed as a 'personal coach on your wrist' and, to encourage the development of good habits and could even be used to help stop overeating.
 
Now British firm Intelligent Environments has launched software that can link the wristband to people's bank accounts.
 
The idea behind the shocking invention is that the two milliampere shock will condition wearers to develop and stick to good habits by associating the bad habits with the uncomfortable yet effective shock.
 
It could also be used to save heating bills, by working with smart metres and encouraging people to turn their thermostats2 down.
