Inventions

1. If they could invent a remote control for something in your house that doesn’t have one, what would you wish it to be?

Laundry. Start-to-finish, sort-to-fold.

2. What could your car really use that they just hasn't invented yet?

Well, other than wings...I can't think of anything. Like a hovercraft thing, to pass the slowpokes.

3. Who among your friends could probably be a great inventor if he or she had enough funding to do it?

My nephew James already does this. He's always been the type to build things out of other things.

4. What invention seems to do its job in a less-satisfying manner than the old-fashioned way?

Virtually anything that was made in the last 40 years and includes plastic parts doesn't work as well as stuff made in the 40s and 50s (or before) with non-plastic parts. Toasters, sewing machines, tools, pens, you-name-it.

5. Lately, vending machines have gone beyond drinks and snacks: you can rent DVDs from them or even purchase iPods from them. What's something your life could be improved by if it were available in vending machines?

Healthy food. More vending machines, available EVERYwhere, and low cost.
