hopefully there isn't a board like this already, but what do you wish would be invented and why? We're doing this thing in our comunication aplications class where we have to do a commercial for something that doesn't exist and i've been brainstorming on silly things that should be invented
A short term memory eraser: for those days you say or do something stupid you could just erase it, lol
transporters, teleporters
magic shoes: for days you just wanna go home and forget public transit after a long day at work or a lecture
Pillow cooler: self explanitory, lol
A machine that reads the hormone levels of men and it'd tell you if he was serious, just looking for some fun and if he was in a relationship
memory ring: you where a ring that has a clock and camera and you go back to the time of something you want to remember and the camera shows you a picture of it in your head, perfect fore tests and such
we're not doing this but i thought it was funny: an alcoholdetector for phones and keyboards so you can't send your exes anything when your drunk off your ass
a mute button: for people who are just boring to listening or won't shut the fuck up
lol these are ideas we've come up so far for commercial
i'm writing this at like 2 in the morning so sorry if some or most of this is fucked up...nevermind i know it is, lol

Well, after the walk from the bus to work yesterday in the rain, I really want to see the umbrella cane. This would be a device that somehow, out of the handle of the cane, pops this umbrella on demand. It would come up and with gyroscopes or something, would stay alligned perfectly over your head while moving the cane in an arc.

omg, that sounds wicked awesome, lol.

hmm, i dont know what i would invent. Probably something that would fool the credit card compnay in to thinking that i hadnt spend any money, so i could go shopping like everyday and not worry about paying the bills, lmao. or something that could transport me to any place i want at the snap of a finger. also, something that makes you lose weight right away, magically, lmao

Hmmm! Well, I guess right now, I would invent an application you'd download to your mobile which would work with all networks nationwide. What this little file would do, is litterally, help you to disaparate from one place to another in seconds. You'd have the same three-digit number to either dial, to actually say for example, "nottingham. 1, 2, 3". You could also text this number with the same words, you'd either hang up or send the text, then you'd have oo, around 30 seconds or so to get everything together, put any loose and especially small personal items items in a bag or pocket, have a firm hold on everything as the 30 seconds terminated and voom! There you'd be in the place you requested. I have a real problem getting anywhere lest I go by car at home, because our society for the blind is, not to put too finer point on it, crap. The rehab team's just so ridiculously over protective, I can't get out of my house anymore. They think I can't go out on my own, that I need a sighted person with me, just because I have to cross an incredibly busy main road, just metres from my front door. I can't stand it, especially as well, there's someone special just this minute, entered my life. Can't say more, as I know some people we both wish to surprise beyond belief when I show up in Nottingham, just ocasionally come on here, so strictly hush hush for now. And that's my other bug bear. I have to wait till one of the family can drive me 45 minutes down the road to Reading so I can go anywhere other than that is, London and the south east, by train. Just so inaccessible, plus the housing association where I've applied for housing won't help you out unless you rent somewhere for 6 months, you have close family in the area you where you wish to reside and you also have to've worked there for 6 months. Its mad. Here's to anybody who invents this mobile application and a nice fat cheque for £1000000.

a girl that doesn't argue! LOL just kidding!
I would event a magic eye so we all could see. Or some type of shot like on startrek where they don't have to poke you with needdles.
A screen reader that would work with everything right away, and a pill to cure cancer!

Post 6 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Wednesday, 29-Oct-2008 11:35:51

I'd invent a mind-reading machine so you could really see what people are thinking. There's nothing more damaging than being told something when the person's really thinking something else

i was going to say a lie detector, but the last post said just that.
post 1 also made a list of all the things i've been thinking of since verry long. lol. had another one in mind but forgot

Post 8 by midnight sun (you can't catch me, i'm the palobread man) on Wednesday, 29-Oct-2008 11:51:23

a way to format some people and reprogram them lol
some kind of translator that would translate animal's language to ours and ours to theirs so we could easily communicate with them

Oh they already have something that tells us what cats are "saying" to us. But it doesn't talk and it's EXPENSIVE!
Urm, I dunno what I'd invent. A combination telekinetic thingy, teleporter, and mind-reader/telepath earphone implant thinggy. You'd press a button to turn it on and off so you didn't accidentally dream up something really freaky. lol

Post 10 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Thursday, 30-Oct-2008 0:42:59

I'd invent a device that allows you to talk to pets or service animals who have passed away. That way, we can check up on them as often as we'd like.
I'd also love to see a pill to cure all forms of cancer in both humans and animals.

Post 11 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Friday, 31-Oct-2008 15:12:48

a reset button, for times when you just want to start everything over.

Post 12 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Sunday, 02-Nov-2008 0:36:26

I like that reset button. Well, I have a lot. Mine would be a money tree. ,just go outside and pick off some money. How about a radio that would allow you to listen to every station that's being broadcast in the world. No need for Internet, just turn it on and start listening. Oh, and no silly fees. Definitely a pill to cure all terminal diseases. How about a machine that just pops out cooked food of your choice. OMG! I could go haywire on this one!
It would be connected via satellite to participating restaurants, and for a monthly fee, you could just tell this machine what your family wanted, and it would get all warm and noisy while it transported the food; and there you go. Your baby back ribs from Chili's, or your Big Mac from Mc-Donald's. It could sit right in your kitchen for your enjoyment.
How about the ultimate laundering machine. It would sort, wash, dry, fold and iron your clothes in one big machine.

If I had an invention idea, I wouldn't mention it here or anywhere else, *smile* -- I'd work on it, then go to the people who deal with that stuff and hopefully make a lot of money! :) lol

Post 14 by midnight sun (you can't catch me, i'm the palobread man) on Sunday, 02-Nov-2008 8:01:54

an invisibility cloak. not sure if it was already been said but don't feel like checking. lol

Post 15 by SEPTEMBER-TWILIGHT (CAN I TALK? PLEASE?) on Sunday, 02-Nov-2008 8:17:56

hmm, i want a machine that designs your clothes for you. omg, like a personal stylist and stuff. like, you think of the design in your head and thne the machine just make it automatically. omg, lol. clothes

Post 16 by midnight sun (you can't catch me, i'm the palobread man) on Sunday, 02-Nov-2008 15:39:38

i so want something that dries your hair in just a few seconds without having to use that hellish thing, lol i hate it

Post 17 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Monday, 03-Nov-2008 20:57:27

ah, I'd looove an invisibility cloak! imagine how much fun you could have? :)

Post 18 by Elenhiia (Feather'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr'rr for president!) on Monday, 03-Nov-2008 23:06:39

Omg! That pill, that invisibility cloak, and that wonderful beautiful glorious reset button are awesome ideas! I'd give for a damn reset button... I'd give an arm and a leg, then reset myself, lol.

Post 19 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Tuesday, 04-Nov-2008 7:16:39

agree with the invisibility cloak idea. Imagine how many people you could bother, especially the ones who bugged you if you had any disabilities back in high school. lol

Post 20 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Tuesday, 11-Nov-2008 18:08:59

Something that would bring back lost objects. No more losing your wallet!

Post 21 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Wednesday, 12-Nov-2008 1:18:07

Well, I'd create a teleporting device that'd allow you to travel to farway places here on Earth and (even other planets if it can handle it)

Also a Time Machine, that way you can travel tot he Past or Future to see what they were and/or are like.

Post 22 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Wednesday, 12-Nov-2008 9:17:37

And meet your future or past self/ that would be a bit creepy. I think, (like in the Harry Poter stories I've read about time travel), you would have to remain hidden, so people don't kill you. They'd screw up the timeline, and you could never come back to the present. Your future self, too, would die eventually.

Post 23 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Wednesday, 12-Nov-2008 19:51:57

Yes I know about whole space-time continuem but risks are sometimes not an option for science you see. Well all I'd have to do is move somewhere so myself can't find me like a different town or something like that.

I'd travel to the date December 21, 2012 just to see what really happens, dangerous perhaps but 2012 seems to be a big issue nowdays for some resaon.

Post 24 by Daenerys Targaryen (Enjoying Life) on Friday, 29-May-2009 14:54:44

I love post 4 and post 14's ideas! I also would like a pill for all the incurable viruses out there.

Post 25 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Friday, 29-May-2009 15:05:13

A navigational aid that combines the benefits of both a guide dog and a cane. I've never used a dog, but dog users I've spoken with say the first thing you lose is the ability to explore curbs and other landmark areas like you can with a cane.
Yet, a guide dog user can book across 150 yards of straight open space - and get to the other side / their destination, plus they don't hit overhanging tree branches and such like we cane users do.

Post 26 by Feathered Serpent (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Friday, 29-May-2009 23:01:36

how about a telepathic robot that you could control from anywhere to do your cleaning at home.

Post 27 by SexySquirrel (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Friday, 07-Aug-2009 19:42:13

How about a select comfort bed that can also be controled by temperature.

Post 28 by turricane (happiness and change are choices ) on Saturday, 08-Aug-2009 8:05:43

a shot to give stupid insensitive troll buraucrats so they will do the right thing.

Post 29 by motifated (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 08-Aug-2009 17:23:04

A replicator capable of producing legal money in any currency desired.

Post 30 by tear drop (No longer looking for a prince, merely a pauper with potential!!!!!) on Saturday, 08-Aug-2009 23:52:07

I'd invent something that makes it so humans could find another release for there emotions besides anger/tears.

Post 31 by psychic teacher (I can't call it a day til I enter the zone BBS) on Monday, 10-Aug-2009 6:31:45

Would want to invent the tablet of life. A pill that wouldn't make us go old, get sick and die, but it may be impossible for now. (Smile)

Post 32 by turricane (happiness and change are choices ) on Monday, 10-Aug-2009 7:27:30

i'd want that only if all those i love took it too. it's really sad to see old people who have lost all their peers and spouses.

Post 33 by midnight sun (you can't catch me, i'm the palobread man) on Monday, 10-Aug-2009 10:53:28

a damned anti shiness pill
