The other day I was talking to a friend and he mentioned how companies
intentionally manufacture products that will break down and need to be
replaced. They canīt build products that last anymore, because then no one
will need to buy a new one and everyone will lose their jobs. But what if
instead of building crap, they build shit that lasts, and then try building
something else? Why not continue to invent new things to replace what we
already have? If whoever came up with the idea of manufacturing shitty
products had thought of that instead, we could all be floating home from
school/work/wherever on hovercrafts by now. So my question is, what sort of
ideas have people come up with? My idea- The orgasm bomb. Set it off and
everyone within a mile has an orgasm. And by the time everyone is finally
done changing their pants, you set another one off.

...orgasm bomb...well, while this would distract from several societal
problems, and provide serious entertainment, it would also prevent almost
anything from getting done. and yes, as goat mentioned, the mess factor
would be phenomenal. and who would be in charge of such things anyway? they
couldnīt just be free for consumption by the general public....
(oh and i am most amused by īall your base are belong to usī...thank you
for that. you know they made a song out of it.....)

ooooh, I like the orgasm bomb. It would be fun to see how people react
afterwards.
Have you seen "gigolo Joe" in A.I.? What an invention that would be. No,
but, seriously, what about a "dream recorder". Something that would record
your dreams as you actually experienced them. "Playback" would have to be
another invention, because it would have to encompass all your senses, not
just sight and sound. I have so many dreams that I just donīt want to wake
up from. My latest involved Earthīs sister planet from a twin dimension.
Weeeee, it was so much fun.

There is a forum for it, if you wish... The discussions buried far below
somewhere... I started it, of course!
But I would really go for a dream recorder/playback thing... I just had a
dream (itīs 7am) I would love to play back. It was fun, although I would be
sad because its only a dream...
And the orgasm bomb would be more of a pranksterīs tool, limited to those
shops with whoopee cushions and cheap magic tricks... I think they would be
regulated... Or perhaps humanity would give up on wearing clothes, since a
minority of the population has the gall to set the stupid things off. Limit
the range to a room, and perhaps then itīll be feasible.
But Iīd just love a space/time transport machine...

I realize that this has almost nothing to do with the above question, but
it is about an invention that I thought was pretty cool.
My friend and I were sitting around months ago talking about some stupid
things and watching Tv, and a commercial came on with a laundry detergent
that promised to get your whites their whitest, which of course, neither of
us have ANY use for, and we were talking about how great it would be if
they made a product that would keep your blacks their blackest, but of
course, that would probably never happen...When low and behold, Woolite
comes out with a Woolite dark version of laundry detergent, that DOES keep
your blacks their blackest, of course, its like five bucks for a little
tiny bottle, but I still thought it was pretty cool, and had to mention it
somewhere. I bought some (of course) it smells good, but as for anything
else, I donīt know.

Call me evil, but I want someone to invent a device that can jam a cell
phone signal at a short range. I like to think I would only use it for
good purposes, but I know Iīd use it to phuque with the norms. Imagine
some Biff or Buffy mindlessly and endlessly droning on their cell phones in
an inappropriate place (such as anywhere near me) and you hit a button and
ZAP!, a loud painful shrieking noise comes out of their phones into their
ear. Ah, Iīm such a misanthrope.
Btw, I had thought of an idea like the Woolite a while ago, but I wanted to
give it a good name like Gloom since all the names for detergent are
these asininely sunny nonsense or sound like bad superheroes. Gloom keeps
your blacks their blackest!

An automatic nappy changer...
Two appiances attached to the wall in toilets and other sanitary areas.
First dunk the baby in the first machine and it pulls the old nappy off and
washes the babyīs midrift. Then take it out and dunk it in the machine next
to it which straps a new nappy to the baby. And voila! No mess, quick and
easy nappy changing. Youīd better not steal my idea before I patent it you
bunch of good-for-nothings!

Oooooooh! I want one! I want one!
(Although it reminds me uncannily of a nightmare I had as a child of a
machine that put kids coats and boots on for them. They climb in one end
and slide out the other, all ready for winter. Only it started
malfunctioning, and the kids didnīt come out the other end. Eventually, it
came to life and chased me down the driveway...)
I think someone needs to invent goth diapers. Someone gave me a package of
Barney diapers - ack!!! Why canīt they make black diapers with Gashlycrumb
scenes on them, or something?

Iīm telling you from experience... those barney diapers (Luvs) are the only
ones that work. pampers and huggies both suck, and theyīre way more
expensive. and whatever you do, donīt use the off-brands, youīre just
asking for a mess there... besides, the kid wonīt even know what barney is,
especially at under 1 year old... or you could buy cloth diapers, and use
black diaper covers... less expensive in the long run, but more mess to
deal with...

Why stop at a dream recorder? How about a device that could bring your
dreams into reality. Of course such a device would have to be extremely
controlled. Perhaps you could record a dream and then submit it for
"reality initiation" or whatnot

i donīt think thatīd work very well.. everyone would just run around having
their dreams "initiated".. but a virtual reality machine that allows you to
experience your dreams would really be something :-)

By extremely controlled I mean that your dream will fade out of reality
after a certain length of time, and certain things will be intentionally
beyond the abilities or range of such a device. The device wouldnīt be able
to create alternate dimensions with 17 suns or affect global reality, but
perhaps something small with a range of about 30 feet.

I think that would be a curse... Already dreams are a pain for letting us
down when we wake up, but this invention moves the illusion even closer to
our finger-tips, and yet still out of reach. It would drive some mad,
including me.

There is such a device to record and playback dreams. Actually several,
and I do spend a lot of time with them because they can be just as good as
"real" life sometimes. Of course, these devices of which I speak require a
little feedback and imagination from the user, and sometimes different
people experience the same dream differently....Some work better with
auditory information, some with visual, some with language, but all of them
are truly amazing and have been around for quite a while....The only
downfall is that they can be difficult to use to record your dreams
accurately.

..hmmmm....to live in an illusury world created in oneīs own mind, or to
know the communal version of relative reality, no matter how ugly...
familliar dilemma, yes? *sigh* no need for such a device. evolutionary
mental capacity may bring acceptance of the fact that PERCEPTION IS
REALITY. people seem so unwilling to accept
just how far that perception goes...just how much can be manipulated....
so to live in my dreams? no thank you. my head is a twisted place. i would
settle rather to record them in detail, as they would make rather lovely
bits of artwork to poke at afore mentioned reality...
as far as a novel invention...while there may be a new incarnation of a
thought, there is no novel structure. iīm working in it..*blush*
