After some serious ideas to elevate a bad mood and few
tricks to appear cute, I was not keen to jump into yet another matured domain.
I realized it was time to explore some uncharted territory with weird ideas
and novel concepts. We all are well acquainted with the word ‘innovation’. Something
novel, new, useful and productive invention in our otherwise usual routine that
changes the way we live- ‘Innovation’ has been our consistent companion since
the historic times.
With each passing day, technology adds new and new
innovations in our lifestyle, making it better, convenient, and modern all at
once. Whether innovations and technology help us with convenience or spoil
us with laziness is a different ball game altogether, but this post intends to
celebrate the usefulness of innovations.
The idea behind it
is to explore some new innovations that sound cool. Some of these are already
in the research stage, while some may also be in the production phase. Few are
pure figments of my imagination and are open to the market. If some VC and entrepreneur
wish to cash it out, I will be more than delighted. Also as few of these ideas
sprout from the field of my imagination, I do not intend to enter into its
feasibility and practicality. They sounded cool in the head and hence they made
it to the list is all I can declare right at the start. The purpose is to draw
fun through moments of funny imagination.
Do not get into technical
details as this dreamy little blogger mind may not be able to handle the seriousness.
All it knows is dreams and imagination
power ideas. Hopefully someday these dreams may materialize and I shall break into
a happy dance. To the innovations already in the pipeline, I am excited and
hopeful to use it in my lifetime. To the ones never thought before, I can only sincerely
wish that someone picks it up for evaluation.
While you go through
my cool list (hopefully you find it so too), feel free to add to it. What are
some innovations that sound exciting and interesting to the consumer in you? If
given a chance to turn your innovative ideas into production, which ones will
you submit?
1.
Food uploader/downloader
I
do not know about you but this idea pops into my mind each time I look at fancy
pictures of food on social media. When it comes to food pictures- I have tried
everything. From ignoring the ones sent by family and friends to requesting
them to send more and more, from sending them myself to just wishing to grab the
plate, no matter how hard I try, I cannot ignore the tasty treats on screen.
Thanks or no thanks, social media has changed the way we look at food. While looking
at pictures does not solve any purpose, I can only hope it is possible to
upload and download food from any part of the world to any other. I do not know
how to possibly create one, but I know the result.
You upload
that tasty birthday cake and I will download it! Isn’t it simple? Or the other
way round, happy? Imagine all those fancy dishes from restaurants that your
friends upload and homemade meals from your mother and exotic dishes from your
chef cousin will land right next to your computer. I hope this materializes in
my lifetime so I can finally justify the like symbol after sampling the food.
P.S: The credit for this idea goes to my
tech-savvy Dad who asked us to develop such an idea. Dad -if you are reading
this, I cannot make it myself but I can definitely write about it and spread
the word. I am sure some wealthy VC or tech-geek entrepreneur will do it for us
or is already doing so in her/his lab garage right now.
2.
Object copier
We all have used photocopier
(better recognized as Xerox) to create copies of our boring documents and precious
college notes. But how about a 3 D copier for objects, items and materials.
Love that dress your sister has? Put it inside the copier and have it! Want to
read the book your friend has? Copy it. Create multiple copies of your favorite
products and enjoy. I understand it will impact the retail industry but no harm
in imagining. I am sure there will some way out like restrictions on the number
of copies or courtesy charges to the original manufacturer.
3.
Space cruise
This idea is already out in the industry
where some ambitious young entrepreneurs are going to take us out of our planet
to space in few coming years. I will love to embark on such a cruise to the Moon/Mars/Jupiter/Saturn/ anywhere in space as long as it is round trip and at
a reasonable cost! I will wait for reviews on tripadvisor before I book the
tickets.
4.
Solar powered flying vehicles
Flying vehicles is another idea in the
market already. Solar powered flying vehicles can take us from point A to B
without consuming much time. It can also reduce traffic on roads. A coordinated
mechanism of driverless vehicles on road and flying vehicles in sky will be the
perfect solution to get rid of the dreaded red lines on our GPS. And power
through sun will erase the problems of non-renewable fuels. 2 or 4 seat
vehicles will also make us feel like birds. Traveling in huge air crafts does
not give me that feeling yet.
5.
AI- personal shopper
If you are a shopping-lover and find happiness
in retail therapy - skip this part completely. If you are like me who fails to
find joy in shopping, no matter how hard you try - keep reading my dearest best
buddies. AI or artificial intelligence powered personal shopper will check items
in your house- grocery, clothes, home goods, footwear etc. etc., prepare the
list, shop, bargain (why lose a chance to save), purchase and get you all the
items right to you. I hear online shopping does exactly that, but I also want a
process where it decides that I need something and figures out the list by
itself. Call me lazy but shopping is not everyone’s cup of tea!
Whether these turn out to be true
or fail to reach us as consumer products, I had fun penning them down. After all,
imagination is the first step. Who had imagined we could see someone while talking
to them miles away or use a gadget to navigate us all around the town? Just as
these are usual things in our life today, someday the above five will be too!
