It's a kind of magic ..
My car opens when I walk up to it. So long as my keys are in my pocket or my bag, I don't actually need them. I sometimes walk up to my front door and expect that to open for me too. That will be routine, soon enough. Would you consider having your 'keys' built in, so you never need to worry about them again? Your phone, so you could press a button under the skin on your wrist and talk into your fist, or even out loud as though the person you were talking to was standing next to you?Many public toilets now flush when you stand up - built-in sensors. The taps in the basins come on when you wave your hands under them, and the drier roars to life when you put your hands in or under them. Some households could find that really handy. A full-size drier, no more damp towels draped over the door? Hmm.
What handy inventions are on the drawing board, or even already out there, that you could imagine bringing into your own home?
I'll be popping back and forth, play along if you can think of something.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. At this rate we will have, in a matter of decades, a large elderly population with perky boobs, huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Molly, I have a self making bed idea, just dont use bedding like me.
The only problem is I don't have any technical ability at all, so they stay uninvented (until somebody else invents them and makes millions
Molly...send them to be, I am a capable engineer when not fixated on shoe kettles, and I won't mention the TV with built in toaster and wine cooler incase the idea gets stolen.
Well hello Map
I think we might have found our man. Time to build that better mousetrap ...
get the sensation of the journey, if your not in it?
Mind you long drives are boring. I wouldn't mind being able to stretch out in the back with a book after telling the car to take me off to the seaside.
I could call my car James
This is slowly growing on me.
you need to invent things that would be powered as a by-product of all that cycling?
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
A stitch in time saves
It was still working.
Hell, Moll, the speed you move, you didn't even need the blade of grass.
When you are checking to see if an electric fence is or or not, you check it with a blade of grass rather than just grabbing it.
Mind you my stepmother didn't connect the ticking noise to the fence. That was a great day.
One guy in SA wired the house-mains to his hen-house door to stop prowlers stealing his hens but forgot to tell his wife. Well, that was his story at the trial.
Good night Biff.

I used to say the NEXT time I bought furniture it would be made of plastic and on wheels. I do love rearranging. Now though I have given up, and just live with stuff where it is, haha, 90% of it is antique and weighs a bloody ton.
