1. Smell-O-Vision. We have 3D with HD and yet no one has mastered the art of sending fragrance through the TV? How good would watching the food network be if you watched Emeril going through the blam process of creating a dish and smelling the goodness. Of course, conversely if you watched a baby crying and someone changing the diapers, you would want to shut off that function. Just saying. Seen those before and they come out green with peanuts. I know, too much visual.
2. Portable Sleep tubes. I know the Japanese have made something closely related to this but how many times have you been away from home and tired as a mo-fo but don't want to spend 10 million on a hotel room? Or, can't stop and sleep in the car since its 400 degrees out? How nice would you want to see a mobile sleep unit there to stop, pay $5 to 10 dollars an hour in an air conditioned tube just to recharge? Or at a concert and feeling a bit spent by over drinking. Stop off and sleep some of it off. Seriously, I can see this mobile unit at a ton of different places.
3. The Hangout. You have the food court for kids. You have all of the stores for women. Whats in it for men? How about the store the hangout for males only. Your wife takes you Christmas shopping at the mall of America and your dogs are just yelping at your to sit down. How about this conversation "Hey honey, just go on without me and get me at the hangout". There would be rooms with large flat screens that you pay by the hour for you or with a group of guys. You would never miss the game because the wife needed to get that velvet beige boots she saw at the Bon Ton. The rooms could also have Xboxes and Playstations to have tournaments or just goofing off. Hell, combine #2 and #3 and have a mega center. Moving on.
4. Jet packs. Do we have this? No. Have we seen this on the Jetsons or James Bonds. Yes. What's taking so long? In traffic? Not anymore. Fly over it and get to where you want to go on time. Want to just imitate Superman? Up, up and away. How cool would it be to just fly with the birds. Of course, knowing how we are, would have traffic lights and paths to fly in just to that it would not be chaotic up there. I can imagine walking along and then boom, some idiot falls from the sky for not yielding to the right of way of an on coming flyer. I would make it a hard test for people to be license to use these. Definitely don't want any knucklehead speeding and crashing into people just because.
5. Fast Food Pill. In the military, I was introduced to the dehydrated pork patty. Let me say that again, the dehydrated pork patty. Can you imagine it? Just added water and then poof, pork patty. Why cant they do the same with a McDonald hamburger? Or the Quad Stacker? Give us something we want that we can tote for days and just add water to enjoy. Taking this one step further, I want this not just dehydrated, but in a pill form. You seen those items in the dollar store. Mini army men. Cant really tell what they are until you drop them into a glass of water and bam, fighting machines. Shouldn't we be able to do that now? If we can put a man on the moon we can certainly fit a king size meal in my pocket.
Honorable Mention. The moving sidewalk. I know, we have escalator in the mall and the airport. Why not take this technology outside? Raining or snowing? Sensors would activate to cover them so you can walk on them normally. Taking a walk but twisted your ankle. Instead of "help, I fallen and I cant get up", hit the button and off you go. You would be back home in no time. Facing a big hill, ha! No problem. Cruise up the steepest hill without breaking a sweat. I know, its bad enough we are the obese capital of the world. Might as well play to that stereotype.
Any other good ideas? Drop me a comment....
