Come on! All the sci-fi movies and comic books of the '60's PROMISED us that by the year 2000 we'd have them. Ten years past the due date and I'm still driving a Ford.
A laser hidden in the grill of my car that can burn/write into the rear of other's cars "this idiot drives 5 miles below the speed limit in the left lane" who drive 5 miles below the speed limit in the left lane.
A refrigerator that gently informs you when you leave the door open.
I have one of these! It's a Samsung. It "dings" if you leave the door open for more 30 seconds. It's slightly irritating when you're loading groceries in, though.
I want a brain scanner that pulls movies and pictures out of your brain and saves them to media.
Not only would I be able to see all the boobs I've ever seen in person again, but I could also find out what happened during all those blackout drunks.
but I could also find out what happened during all those blackout drunks.
On second thought, that might be a bad idea.
Indeed.
I want something that will erase Scissor Sisters from my memory banks. It's not that I don't like them, as they're in my top 10 favorite bands, but that their songs are so goddamn catchy and they get stuck in my head for days.
"'Cause you're filthy! ooooohh and I'm gorgeous. Yeah you're filthy, and I'm gorgeous. You're digusting. And you're naaaasty! And you can grab me, oooohh 'cause you're nasty!"
No Dogs, if we knew about time machines before they were invented, it would rip the fabric of space time. And that's a fabric that JoAnn doesn't keep in stock. You have to order that Shakespeare specialy.
I'm still waiting for voice-recognition text messaging that doesn't rely on a teeny database of phrases.
For her sake, I would like it if they invented a phone that you could speak into and your voice would come out of some sort of "speaker" at the other end, so the other person could hear exactly what you said, rather than the way phones currently work, where apparently you talk into them and they use voice recognition to translate your speech into a text message.
Also, I would like to own a sentry gun that would automatically keep the kids off my lawn.
Quote: Toaster Vision also includes features like an 8 level browning dial, crumb tray, and extra high lift so you won,,,t accidentally burn your digits when trying to retrieve your toast. All I can say is, leave it to the French to make something as simple as making toast look sexy.
Glasses that tell you someone's mood. Like a mood ring, but something only you can see. Thus you could avoid the person who is about to explode and may dump all over you for what you didn't do, and likewise you could clue in when someone was hornier than a boatload of sailors.
People, especially kids, need to come with a display that will say exactly what is wrong with them and what specifically will make the wrong go away. Mostly I'm thinking in terms of illness, but it could have wider applications.
Another "win a free custom icon" contest. Seeing as how this is a new direction and there are lots of new people. I think a new icon on the house would liven things up a bit.
Talking underwear that tells you "I don't care how much bleach and 'SHOUT" you used, that disgusting stain is still there." But in a nice way. Mine's sarcastic.
My request is quite simple. I'd like to have an in-sink foaming soap pump. I've "Jeeni-rigged" one from Bath and Body Works, but I'd like one actually made for the sink. It doesn't even need to have a hover or time-travel feature.
And just because it hasn't been mentioned yet, I bring you Four great inventions from the Simpsons
A scoop for the front of my car so I can pick up the Emerson doing ten miles under the speed limit in front of me and put him down behind me or in another state. Florida gets every other state's Shakespearety drivers all winter long.
