Question

osprey · Answer

First thing that comes to mind is a website called something like "innocentive". Offers money to people who come up with answers to scientific problems. Could be a bit heavy weight, but it is there. 
Something that I'd like to see, if it's not there already, is a device that allows people in private houses to use a remote control device as well as their wall switches to turn lights on and off. In my own case, it may well save me groping around in the dark, or semi-dark sometimes. 
Thinking about it, another idea would be a "road safety" gadget. I have sciatica - i limp and walk slowly; too slowly maybe for this frenetic and frantic rush rush rush world. 
Do motorists "appreciate" this, and do they also observe the speed restrictions on roads ? Well, if self and motorist get into some sort of a tangle, what chance do I have against better part of a ton of metal coming at me at even 1 mile an hour ? Very little ?
So, the idea would be to carry a sort of personal "speed camera" around which both identifies the vehicle, and gives a measure of the speed they're doing. 
I see the snag of "road rage" if a driver ... but it would be handy to have the weapon in the arsenal .... a pea shooter against a ton of metal though.
