Censored by BBC

I found this news item with a request for your ideas. Most of the ideas on the discussion board were frankly either rubbish or just moaning so I deciced to post some good ones ( just off the top of my head) The BBC will only accept 500 characters and only 2 posts per hour.  So I thought I would put them all hear. 

1.  Central locking for houses (single button keyfob that beeps/lock ALL the doors and windows of your house are closed & locked)
   
2. Device that sets up hundreds of accounts so you can fill on line discussion boards with the same dull message (eg bring down this dull, badly dressed, politically biased government) again and again.
3. A device that filters out unrelated whinging and moaning from discussion boards.
4. A mixture between solar cloche and a clothes dryer so you can leave cloths outside to dry without having to make green house gases to get convenient drying.
5. A gadget that would be an interface to all other gadgets that would simplify their use.(my family cannot make the DVD player play)
6. A gadget that would interface with our programable thermostat that would make it simple to program ( another CO2 saving).
7. A gadget that would eliminate having hundreds of user ids and passwords for lots of websites ( like this one) without having the security compromise of having the same pass word for all of them.
8. A visa card with my picture on that would email/text me every-time money was spent on the card.
9. Computer controlled taxi’s on special routes to solve both global warming and congestion ( like the new system at terminal 5 Heathrow opening this year)  
10. A device that knows your where you are in a city and can summon a taxi to your position. The taxi would be routed by a central computer and statnav to share part or all of your route ( if possible) with 2-3 strangers to reduce the cost/CO2.
11. A diesel based electric hybrid as alternative power train for taxis.
12. A gadget that would identify you and only you on line together with your age. Must have for all child centric websites or any e-commerce.
13. A Drop box (in only) chained outside your house big enough to accept large parcels/objects in standard sizes which digitally signs a electronic receipt to say they have been delivered. ( I hate having to wait in for stuff to be delivered after convience of ordering on internet)
14. An invisible or semi invisible wind turbine to keep the 4x4 county toffs from objecting to every wind farm proposed within 100 miles of them.
15. Mandatory solar panels for all council sponsored swimming pools (average pool heating costs of £180,000 per year should be cut in half + CO2) ( the solar panel is the gadet)
16. A device that shows when/where and how much electricity is being used in the home and by what outlet. Interfaces with other
17. A decent electronic book ( bookpod?)
18. Earrings or head set that reminds you of peoples names.
19. A device that measures both your movement and guesses at the calorific value of your food intake that indicates what you have to do to stop from getting obese. Or just a general device that constantly monitors your body and indicates all kinds of behaviors and sympotms such as stress.
20. A way of controlling your tv/dvd/video etc by gesture ( hand up palm open for stop/quite) so you don’t have to keep hunting for remote controls.
21. Ski lift like devices for the big hills ( they have them for ‘sporty’ people to go skiing why not help the port commuter cyclist).
