CommercialThe problem is that children aren’t

paying attention to advertising because TiVo and video games allow them to skip the ads or avoid them all together.

What if, when a video game was paused, a commercial or simple ad popped up that advertised snack foods, items related to the game, etc.?

Bad DecisionsChildren are constantly told what to do. They

are told that drugs and alcohol are bad. This makes them rebel and do the opposite of what their parents say.

A game that would allow kids to make those wrong decisions and see where their lives lead. These days, many children are obsessed with video games and characters. Using this game, they can see the effect that their decisions had on the characters and situations within the game without having to actually experience it firsthand.

A New Way to LearnThere is an increasing number of children

that are afflicted with ADD. They find it difficult to concentrate and focus in the classroom, making it hard to learn the lesson being taught.

A video game that acts almost as virtual reality. It allows children to actually live the lesson. They can experience colonial times or navigate the solar system. Classes could even take field trips via virtual reality.

WasteEveryone is looking to save the

environment or “go green”. They are looking to waste less and conserve water.

A timer connected to shower heads, faucets, etc. that automatically shuts the water off after it has been run for a certain amount of time. This time could be set by the buyer after the point of purchase. Different timers could be set depending on the use of the water (showering, washing the dishes, etc.)

Waste ContinuedPeople could also waste less by

having their stomachs scanned before they eat. This way, by entering the type of food into a system, they could know the exact amount of food that they need to be full. Then they would waste or throw away any access food.
