Will someone please invent...

... targeted memory erasure.

If there was such a thing, I could watch Lost for the first time ...as many times as I please.

and BSG...and POI...and Doctor Who...and...and...

On second thoughts - maybe a bad idea.

What do you wish someone would invent?

The wash cycle takes a lot longer, 2 1/2 hours as opposed to 1 1/2 on the old machine,
but it cleans much more effectively so I guess that's OK, especially as I put it on at night mostly.
...

The 2-hr+ wash cycles are common among US brands.

Makers should add a manual timer that us bill-payers can control.

Most washers allow you to set the actual washing cycle time but that's usually between 8 and 16 minutes. I don't know why the hell the fills/drains, rinse and spin take so long but there's no way to control it.
My buddy said he was surprised when his kid needed a particular shirt for school the next day he did it in the dishwasher.

I want the Wayback Machine.

2 hours?!?!?! JFC! That's an awful lot of money just to get out of washing dishes. I've never used a dish washer. The longest I've ever spent doing the dishes was two sinkfulls after a dinner party. Took ~40 minutes.

I want someone to invent turn signals for grocery carts.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-09-2015, 07:30 PM

Fortunately the cart ain't mine so crashes are the markets problem, but they should have air horns.

...and 4 properly functioning wheels.

what about self-driving grocery carts/shopping trolleys? Could test them at M-Town.

Ones with little drones you could send back to pick up the thing you forgot while you stay in line. Ones that stay close enough for you to chuck stuff in, but not so close that you shin yourself if your shoe sticks on some discarded gum on the floor or a rogue piece of trash jams the wheel.......

xoxoxoBruce · 08-09-2015, 08:55 PM

That would be tough. The carts could be developed but people are too unpredictable.

Nobody said easy was a prerequisite

A personal A/C device, that works. Maybe the size and shape of an umbrella, weighs two ounces, runs on a watch battery that lasts for five years, and keeps the air in your personal space a balmy 72 degrees.

See? I'm pretty easy to please.

I love my farts, why would I want to dissipate them? Farts are to be shared.
