Ambitious scheme for flying machine. Drawing: Da Vinci
For reasons that cannot be divulged in the interests of national security the blog is today preoccupied with gadgets of the future. You know the sort of thing: alarm clocks that scan radio stations for tunes you might like to wake up to; phones with built in breathalyser that stop you calling your ex when you're over the limit; electric razors that actually work. The things that would really improve the quality of our lives.
We've mined our own feeble imaginations dry, and we haven't got a top hundred. Frankly, we haven't even got a top 10 yet. (And you know how much the blog loves a good list.)
So it's over to you. Help us out. Best idea gets (a) immortality in print (b) kudos galore and (c) a really quite flash techie prize that the blog wouldn't mind keeping to its greedy self but can't.
For inspiration, there is a database of ideas down at idea-a-day. Mobile magazine have run a top 100 gadgets of all time (Pez dipenser no. 98!) and a top 100 forgotten gadgets (Via Bleepblog)
But we need 100 (or nearest offer) gadgets yet-to-be invented. Bring is your fantasy innovation that would make the world a more convenient, if not a marginally better place. We have an army of people with extraordinarily high foreheads and thick-rimmed specs in a lab underneath Observer Towers ready to make your dreams come true.
