ooooooh!
I got one!
A device, like a lifty-mojigger, for short people, or even average-heighted people to reach things on tall shelves or unreachable places. For example, in the restaurant, things are stored waaaay high up, where no one can get to them. And step stools are nice and all, but if you have heavy stuff they become awkward.
This should be like a stand-alone cherry-picker sort of deal, with lifty capabilities, small enough to fit in tight places like storage closets.
Awesome.

it sounds like you are trying to get us to do your homework assignment. hahaha.

when i was little, like second grade, i always wished every student's desk was in it's own room, about telephone booth size. in the booth you had a screen in front of you to watch/listen to the teacher, you could switch it to computer, or to view a friend in another booth and talk to that person. the whole booth was sound proof. there was a telephone too, because when i was seven we still used telephones, hahahaha.

i know this makes no sense and has nothing to do with this, but it made me think of it.

Alright I've been thinking all day and I'm stuck between two really good ideas. Either a time machine or a teleporter. But i can't decide which would work better. I'm going to say the time machine because it's so choice, if you have the means, I highly recomend you pick one up. Here's the thing with the teleporter, I was watching a documentary and apparently if there is a fly in the machine at the same time, things end badly. OH OH I have an idea!! You should invent a teleporter that doesn't combine your DNA with the DNA of another creature when in the same telepod. How about this, the mother of all inventions... a Teletime Machineporter! Both a time machine and teleporter without DNA gene splicing!!!

Alright I must go now, there's an uproar in the lab. Apparently my genetically engineered raptor is running amuck.
