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

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?

Clothes that neutralise smells and self clean , so you never need to wash clothes again.

Lisanoonan · 12/11/2024 22:37

Clothes and bags that change colour.

One language for all of Europe to learn, so everyone can communicate.

While also keeping their own languages.

Edited

It's been made. Esperanto.

A drive through toilet at the services. like a big garage with a loo in so you could have a wee without having to get the kids out the car.

Ooh and a hair dye tablet, one a day and no roots.

Language for elder carers.

‘Dementia’ ‘disabilities’ and ‘old’ don’t quite cover the maelstrom of misery the dying brain and body chucks out 24/7. For decades.

No one uses it! Anywhere.

So that didn't work in any way, shape or form

Teeth that fall out every few years and new lovely white sparkly ones grow in.
The current set up is no good.
We used to be dead by 40 so wouldn't have needed teeth to last till our 90s.
It's different now (and bloody expensive when they go wrong).

I've always thought it's amazing how behind dentistry is given the technologies that exist now. Surely there must be some amazing material that could fill teeth in a bulletproof way? I reckon it doesn't get developed because there is so much money to be made in the need for continual repair.

Yes! I always think it's stupid to need a key to open doors. They are so easily lost, and if you lose your keys, you're fucked. You have no other way to get in.

You should be able to set up an app on your phone with a password that you can then swipe on the front door.

I know in the USA, some of the houses open with codes, not keys

We don’t have a key we have a Yale code open door with an app and little tags that stick on the back of our phones. Not had a house key for years.

Lisanoonan · 12/11/2024 22:41

Better and mew involved systems of running a country, than having a government.

Instead of having government parties ruling over us, in the future I believe we will all have more equal power and decisions will be more community based.

Yeah I think that it is a much better system in the USA.

Keys are old fashioned in my opinion

Oh I remembered one that I've often thought in the last!

They should invent more shapes and styles of beds!

Why are nearly all beds the same exact rectangular flat shape.

I've often thought that I'd like to sleep in a bed that is lower in the middle and higher at the sides. I feel that it would be much comfier, and better for my back.

I'd like to sleep in a bed that is built into a tiny room in the wall and you have wooden doors to go into it, and walls all around the bed (I saw that on santa clause the movie)

I'd like to sleep on a circular bed that's puffy and cushioned all around the sides.

I'd like to sleep in different types of beds!

I agree with every word of this!

Lisanoonan · 12/11/2024 22:43

I also think it needs to be invented that the government or whoever is deciding,

Makes sure that every person is given a tiny home/apartment. That every human being has a place to live.

OdileO · 12/11/2024 22:44

What about a Time Machine? I guess it would get a bit chaotic if everyone was allowed to have one though.

Is the app to open the door on your mobile phone?

nomorehocuspocus · 12/11/2024 22:45

Car indicators that actually work.

A remote control sunbed/ lounger..
When I'm on holiday and under the parasol.. with the sun changing all the time.. l am always up and down moving my sunbed into the shade of the parasol..
It needs to be on wheels that move in all directions with a brake.. with a remote control so l don't have to keep getting up.

A pill to take instead of having to put on sun cream

Ignore me! I replied to the wrong post!

Lisanoonan · 12/11/2024 22:48

More self driving cars

SusanSHelit · 12/11/2024 22:48

A pill that negates the need for sleep. Not something like caffeine or speed that just make you feel like you don't need to sleep, but something that could actually replace sleep and not kill you or make you seriously ill.

Imagine what we could do if we had an extra 6-8 hours a day? (I would personally probably just binge more crap on TV and read a lot more, but I would feel less resentful of the time I needed to be productive otherwise)

Every child from 3+ will think Butmite is hilarious. It will fly off the shelves.
