Inventions that I want to happen…

In your last post, you related a great anecdote about a woman actually hugging a tree. Now I do hope that if you had not been on your way to work diligently at educating the future of our country, you would have pulled over and gotten to the bottom of her actions. Alas that was not to be. however you did bring up an interesting desire for a type of technology that would allow you to photograph things more or less at will.

I like the idea for this invention, but I want to take it one step further. I want “DVR for life.” Now I want to clarify that I am not ripping off the plot from that horrible Adam Sandler Movie “Click”. All I am asking for is a recording device embedded on my person that I can use to rewind, re-watch, and share things that happen to me. I came up with this idea on one of those rare instances when I listen to the radio. I can recall reaching for the rewind button when I missed something that was said and being disappointed that here was a technology that I did not have 100% control of time shifting. I’m pretty sure dvr radio exists, but I’d rather just embed the technology in my glasses and allow me complete replication of my experiences. Aside from providing better fodder for stories, an added bonus is my drunken behavior would vastly improve as I would be able to witness how asinine I act after too many drinks.

Since I’m throwing out a wish list to the R&D guys on the web, I might as well add one more. My old roommate used to want the running man tunnel technology to be installed throughout the eastern seaboard. We would wake up hung over in Richmond with a desire to go to the beach, and Wes would imagine an ideal world where all we would have to do is hop in some sort of super-sonic tunnel and be whisked away to our destination. Well I’m also going to do Wes one better and say its high time for this whole teleporting thing to get here. Now I don’t want to get all political here, but think of the impact on the world if we could accomplish the task of no longer relying on oil for transportation. No more money to the Middle East, no more concerns about carbon emissions, no more oil spills in the gulf, and most importantly no more trips for Mike to Port Authority, and no more plane rides.

Obviously I haven’t worked out all of the regulations and governance that would be needed but if some R&D guys could work out the techy crap I promise to devote a full 45 minutes to working out the rest and solving this issues. Think how much my mood would improve if commuting and air travel were 100% removed from my complaint list.
