Inventors Wanted (Add To The Wishlist)

krugdm writes: "In his latest NYT column, David Pogue has a list of nine inventions that he'd like to see that are just awaiting inventors. The range from the silly MP3 Toothbrush to the potentially useful Microwave Plus+ that self programs. How much of this is possible?" Industrial designers, arise!

I'm not a robot, these things are part of life!

I agree, these are things that are part of life ten years ago. And further back in time people were late because weather was too hazardous to travel through, people would go to bed early because the sun went down and people would find joy in receiving a letter from a friend once every two weeks.

And as new technology develops, a lot of these quirks of life are removed, but I assure you, new ones take their place. I may not forget to tape my favorite show because of a Tivo, but I may not be able to read my email because my ISP is having difficulties. My alarm clock may reduce the number of times I oversleep, but I may miss my video conference because my operating system is having one of those days.

The introduction of new technologies is changing life, and I find it quite fun: my life is constantly changing because of it. It's pretty exciting (and still quite annoying), and I like it.

I don't think I can put a value judgement on these changes in life, it's just different.
