What needs to be invented that hasn’t been yet?

[O6bftdff]

We need car radio that we can pause. There was a quiz on the radio earlier and I waited ages for the answer but eventually had to go to a meeting. I wish I could pause it and start where I’d turned the engine off. Same as a rewind for when you start the car at the end of a song you love.

What else needs to be invented?

I'm in Australia, and they are self administered now. I've just done this and it was brilliant. Completely painless.

Your phone can do this, surely? I can choose talk on any text box except passwords.

A chiller that works like a microwave.

A mute button for barking dogs. And politicians.

@Lisanoonan. Check out the works of Bart Prince ( below ) or his tutor Bruce Goff’s Shinenkan has circular internal spaces ( the walls are made of gin bottle slag too.)

and eliminates the sound at the same time.

A train that you drive onto in your car and just sit in your car on it/or walk about the train/whatever and drive off at your stop. Just like an actual train but like a drive on thing.
Would cut congestion/traffic jams and travel/driving time!

Better dentistry. And cheaper implants and more widely available. And duvet covers are impossible.

Some sort of device that when you wake up in the middle of the night it tells you how long it’s going to be until you get back to sleep. Then if it tells you you’re going to be awake for 2 hours you can go and do something productive/read a book etc and just get back into bed and go back to sleep at the appointed time, rather than just lie there for 2 hours trying to get to sleep and getting more and more frustrated that you can’t. You’d still be tired but at least the time wouldn’t feel wasted.

Alternatively - a device that sends you straight back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night!

In yet another development that will come too late for me, dental stem cell therapy is making progress! Other animals can grow new teeth, and scientists have been trying for some time now to make it happen for humans. It's worked in the lab, animal trials have been largely successful, and human trials are already underway. It's not problem-free yet, but it definitely looks like this will happen.

I can pause live radio in the car if listening via Sounds and Android Auto.

Machines than not only launder clothes but iron them and put them away in the wardrobe.

Wasn't that Esperanto?

@Whitegrenache that already exists

You can easily fit a code operated lock to your door. Just make sure you always have the next set of batteries handy.

There are a couple of apps that do this on your phone one is Hollie Guard (named after a woman from Gloucester I think who was murdered). You programme it with emergency contact details and if you're being attacked you shake your phone and I think it starts recording audio and contacts your emergency numbers. Worth looking up. I think there are other similar ones.

That exists. Just go and buy one

A theatre with seats where everyone can see. I’m so sick of looking at the back of people’s heads because the seats are not staggered or on enough of a slope.

I think there is - a friend has one and it's like she's living in the future. It’s a little stuck thing and it has a voice control button that can search all her apps.

A wifi bath. So I can tap an app when I'm on my way home and it runs a bubble bath ready for me

I have a bath like that, with a WiFi controlled mixer tap. Never used it as I’d need to remember to put the plug in (and add the bubble bath)

A little button on your body (hidden away) that folds away your womb nicely when you are finished with it (could also be folded away until you want it)

This has been invented

Do not click on the product description for the thing that looks like a black banana. It's too traumatising.

If u get given cash and no time to take to the bank, a machine which can transfer the cash to your account, kinda like u can scan cheques to your bank account

Not sure what u would do with the money once its in the account though, maybe the machine can shred it?

A thermostat that can be fitted to the human body, e.g. a little dial on the belly button. If you're cold, you can turn it up and you'll immediately start burning fat to heat yourself up. It would help with weight loss and heating bills!

And to echo a PP, differently shaped beds. I'd like a slightly convex one with the highest point at my hips, I often sleep with a pillow there to get the right effect.

Our local wine shop used to have a machine that you put the newly purchsed
wine off the shelf in and it chilled to cold or extra cold in minutes it was brilliant, the shop closed and i have never seen one since.

And don't newer tellies have voice activation, sure i have seen a tv ad where they talk to the tv.
