Game things that urgently need to get invented

I just chanced to see a post at QSF that gave me the idea for this thread:

[...]some people [...] seem to have zero filter on appropriateness

An appropriateness filter to simply screw in to any brain or keyboard would be a very handy device indeed and ought to be invented asap! It'd enable the mods and admins to relax and fool around with us instead of having to monitor every single post :)
(The marketing of this gadget would propably get vetoed by the lawyer's union, though, as it'd render them jobless.)

Another thing I'd like to see invented is a converter that turns moron-ness into electricity. I dare say that using this appliance the energy bills of most parliamental buildings in the world would run to zero. With view to our current Minister President, my native Bavaria would instantly be independent of coal, gas or oil imports and nuclear power.

What things would you like to see invented? What has the world been waiting for all this time?

Self-folding dryers, ice cream that tastes just like full fat but are really fat free and made of ingredients that are good for you.

My wants are simple.
 
A robot that will do all my work for me, so I can goof off all day.

A machine that cooks meals, puts away leftovers, and washes, dries, and puts away all the dishes. This would just be for my husband, because I'm eating out.
 
Matter Replicator - Personal as well as Industrial sized ones.
Near 100% solar energy to electrical energy conversion device.

Expand this to "all foods", and I totally agree with this one!! :)

Also, just out of curiosity @rhubarbodendron , and no offense intended, I'm really just wondering, but why is this tagged as a "game"? It honestly doesn't seem that much different than any of the other hypothetical speculation/suggestion threads we've got in here? Just curious! :)
 
A form of insulin delivery that doesn't require periodically pocking oneself with an injector, either needle or the one for my pump.
 
{{{{{avro}}}}} no offense taken at all! I thought it's not a discussion nor a topic with any "information-value" but rather something in the general direction of a spam and fooling around thread and so I decided to play it safe (pardon the pun). Feel free to edit the cathegorisation :)

Wow! Cool entries so far!

Another invention I'd love to get is a sort of force field cocoon that is totally soundproof and fully air conditioned. My office faces south towards a busy parking lot and therefore is extremely hot and noisy but I think such a force field might also come handy for those poor people who have to work in cubicles, or workers in factories or as a shield against noisy neighbours or traffic.

And maybe a little device that stops my boss from acting first, then starting to think, changing his orders, thinking twice, changing his orders again, thinking once more... What I'm dreaming of is a sort of stationary Tardis (I suppose that'd be a Redit - relative dimension in time) where time passes faster on the inside than on outside. I put him into the device at 8:00, he can change his mind 200 times over the course of 15 hours IT (Inside Time) and then comes out to tell me his final decision at 8:01 OT (Outside Time) =)
 
How silly and fantastical are we getting?

Guilt gun - reads your mind/memories, then attacks the emotional and pain centers of the brain and makes you feel the sum total of the physical and emotional trauma you have inflicted upon others. Used in lieu of incarceration.

"We've weaponized the Ghost Rider."
 
conscience 2.0? I think that might drive some people insane. One pain is bad enough but several.. pretty horrible.
There should also be a modification that reads the victims' memories and then attacks the pain centers of the brain and erases all trauma previousely inflicted on them.

How silly and fantastical can you get? :biggrin: imho the sky oughtn't be a limit. Not even the border of the current universe.
 
A small program for every video conference tool that plays a tone outside the human hearing range then detects it via the mic...and if it doesn it "hear" it then it tries other combinations of mics and speakers until the thing works.

Solve the whole "my sound isnt working yet, hang on" nonsense. As a Leviathan I do not suffer from this, but talking to humans over conf calls is bloody aggravating.
 
The ability to press an elevator button a second time in case you have to cancel and pick a different floor.
 
A way for people with actual skills to be matched to jobs that need them (as opposed to the current drop your resume in the online black hole method).
