Many people go to certain places (ex. church, school, work) that require them to turn off their cell phones. Normally people attend these places on specific times and days. Why doesn't somebody make a program that will automatically turn off their cell phones (or turn vibrate on) during the specific days and times individuals are attending church, school, work, etc., so the individual doesn't have to. They would input the day and time they normally turn off their phone, and can forget...

There are some people who are really good at making their own beats into a song by voice. For example, use your imagination for the following line: umm da da da da umm da da da da umm da da da da (the umm's have a low pitch and the da's are fast higher pitch sound). Of course quality songs are a lot better. If a musician wants to make a song out of his voice he records his voice. If he wants to replace his voice with musical instruments, he can do that too. In order for HIM to make a...

People drive around all the time. Some people know where they are going, some get lost, and others are slowed by traffic. Some days you get to work with no problems, and other days you run into heavy traffic. There are already systems that tell you how to get to a specific location. There are also some not so familiar systems, that determine the amount of time a light should be green, or red, to help avoid traffic jams (currently used in New York). If we combine the two into one system, I...

Currently companies sell GPS locating devices for vehicles, so the police know where your car is when it's lost. What if you were able to buy penny size locators for everything you own? You could put them on your bike (or could put it on your lost bike), that canoe that traveled down stream without you, that 10 foot model rocket that caught a huge gust of wind, your dog or cat, your boat, family heirlooms, cell phone, credit card, purse, or even your secret diary that was blown away in the...

Its that time of year again to put the Christmas lights outside. To all the people who hang their lights high up on their gutters, here is an idea that will save time and sweat. Lights are hung on the gutter using plastic hooks. If all of these hooks were attached to a long, thin and strong piece of plastic, then we could hang a whole strand up at one time. If we used a very long, strong and light pole, we could hang them from the ground. The pole would be Y shaped with magnets at the...

I'm a guy and I wash my own clothes. I wash my clothes at any time during the day, including at night. I don't mind if they are wrinkly. I like to set the timer on my clothes and then go to sleep. Sometimes when I check them the next day, even sometimes after a few days, I find that they are still damp. This is terrible for my clothes and I sometimes rewash them after I have left damp clothes in the dryer too long. I find damp clothes in the dryer about one out of every three times I do...

One thing all humans need every day is food. Buying and then cooking your own food can take up several hours each day. What if we made a machine that cooked every meal for you and then automatically restocked itself? To save money, the machine would first be marketed to small neighborhoods or the rich. It would contain an assortment of meals as voted by its users. Though it would only cook one or two different foods each meal. At first these machines would create simple meals like pasta...

Some people do not have 9 to 5pm Monday through Thursday work and/or school schedules. These people may have schedules in which on every Monday and Wednesday they have to wake up at 7 am, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays they wake up a 9 am. Other people may go to work for four days during the night, and then four days during the day. These people could use an alarm clock that can be preprogrammed to go off the time and days it should go off. They would input their schedule into the alarm...

In Ohio there are several amusement parks. New rides typically cost $8- $16 million (Taken from an article in USA Today called "Roller coaster lovers get a new high - 420 feet"). Top Thrill Dragster cost $25 million (same source). I imagine it also costs a lot of money to operate these rides each year. With all this money being spent, what if amusement parks used the money for a different attraction? I want to see a never-ending treasure hunt. The amusement parks could start the hunt with...

Talking directly to people is one of the few ways to let them know your marital status. For shy people like myself this is not very easy. Some of us (shy people) would really like to talk to others at times but find it extremely hard. If we had designated tee shirts meant to display our thoughts that would be awesome. My shirt could say 'I am single and shy, talk to me'. Wearing this at the right time could help influence a person that likes you to go the next step. This would also help...
