BRAINSTORM TIME!!

[quiescent]

Brainstorm time: How might we invent or figure out solutions to make people's lives easier?

Reason/Background/Story etc: You all may or may not know that I want to be a successful entrepreneur one day. While bioplastics is still something that I consider extremely important, let's face it, the research is still in its infancy, and I'm not going to

WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT THIS?????

Oh, speaking of high heels, my classmate was working on this project that prevented high heels from sticking into escalator slats. The shoe can transform into a flat and back into a heel on command :D

Okay, so let me see if I can put this in a way that isn't confusing, haha. I wish there was some way that you could upload music from the radio to your iPod while you're in the car. I don't know if this happens to other people, but sometimes a song comes on and I'm like OMG I NEED THIS. Do I usually remember to get it later? No. Sometimes I don't even know what song it is and then it's lost forever in my mind as that one great song that I loved that will never pop up in my life again because I wasn't able to get it right then and there. I have no idea if something like that would ever even be possible, but it would be so great if there was a little iPod dock on your dashboard where you could plug it in and then if a song comes on that you like, you can press a button and it uploads to your iPod. I guess it could be like the car version of iTunes mixed with your radio...?

OMGGGGG I TOTALLY THINK ABOUT THIS. I use Shazam on my iphone to remember the song or find the song title, but you know, car accidents MAY happen XD

a portable laptop table thing
pretty women's clothing with pockets that are actually functional
socks with built in feet warmers
something that keeps track of small items that always get lost (cell phones, remote controls, keys, power chords, etc.)

annnd that's all I got

[scatteredintime]

lol omg can i just make some comments about these things? lol idc, i will just make them. feel free to hate.

re #1, what about those laptop pillow desks? is that what you mean? they're fab imo.

#3 would be so fab if it existed for outside times. i've seen microwave socks and slippers but it's not the same when i can't use it outside. :(

and ahahaha omg #4, i wanted to suggest that but i figured that already exists with clappers.

[quiescent]

Commenting really helps :D I appreciate it because it's feedback!

[goddess_of_ice]

#1 yeah those things. But portable. With a hard surface. Like a table. but portable.
#3 there are some inside ones. WANT.
#4 I have no idea what a clapper is XD

magnetic remote-control-battery-compartment hatches (i keep losing them because the plastic nubs run down and then they're loose)

uhm. i'll try to think of more.

[quiescent]

Ohhh, you mean that flap thing behind a wii remote controller or something?

[scatteredintime]

yeah like that! or like, i keep nibbling on my tv remotes (not on the flap side, but askhdsdg awful habit) and the flap keeps flipping off half the time when i just touch the remote because it's so loose. half our remotes in this house are taped up with sticky tape so we don't lose the batteries.

1. Calorie counter that automatically counts calories and macro nutrients intake when put on a specialized plate and cup

2. Airport travel bag that makes going through security so easy

3. Mind reading

4. Shoes that grow when a kid grows so that he/she never has to buy new shoes (but replace soles or shoe design)

5. Automatic leave sweeper for the fall

6. Garden or chore tools that change to the size of the adult or kid (height)

Thanks! I was talking to Jen about "how might we make raising kids cheaper?" and that idea came from it. It's much easier when you have a very narrow topic, but I thought i'd open this up to see what you guys have to say!

#4 what if the shoes were made of something really, really stretchy. Like silly puddy stretchy.
#5 a blower thing that is on a timer, like sprinklers that blows leaves off your lawn and onto other people's lawns...
#6 they have these for some things! I've seen them somewhere.
