A system for restaurants that functions like noise canceling headphones. Some restaurants just get too loud to have a conversation while having dinner. It would have a simple knob to dial it up and down as necessary, and could even add background noise if it got a little too quiet to add a little buzz to the room.

And a smart phone that is actually a decent phone with good clear audio.

A real Hoverboard, and a Cure for Parkinson's.

I'd invent a device that would make folks I didn't like water their loin cloth on demand. So when some loathsome character is speaking publicly and lying through his teeth I can just touch the button and the bladder evacuates for all to see.

As long as we are dreaming, I'd invent a device that would undo tension in fasteners. Bad guy points a weapon at me? touch the button, gun falls apart. Driver in front at the light texting misses the light change? car falls apart. Enemy tank has the squad pinned down? Tank comes apart to the last screw.

bucket of round-2-its

After a few years driving in SE Florida -- I''d like a 'ray-gun' that I can aim at texting inattentive drivers which re-locates them in their car about 80 miles west of El Paso...

Remember that movie 'Click' with Adam Sandler? I'd invent one of those universal remotes that would allow me to mute anyone, and to move forward or backward through time.

My invention would be a device that causes the human body to regenerate lost or failed parts. Lose a limb, use my device to cause the body to grow a new one. Kidney failure? No problem. Remove the bad ones and my device will cause the body to regenerate new ones. Early investors welcomed!

I never was a Scout but I was in the high school backpacking club. Whenever we camped near Scouts, we would wait.... You know what happened next. They'd pick the dorkiest kid and send him around the campground asking for a "left handed smoke shifter". Sometimes we'd tell him we only brought right-handed ones, other times we'd just laugh at him in the cruelest manner humanly possible. Good times.

A device that would allow me to see my life had I made different choices growing up, like:

What if I had never entered Boy Scouts.

What if I had gone to a different college.

What if I had dated a different girl/married someone else.

What if I had chosen a different line of work.

Oh...and our scout troop had a bacon stretcher, if a kid came along asking for one.

THIS!!! Especially the one that doesn't turn you into a baby as soon as you go back.

You're going to do WHAT if you're invisible?

Nothing yet, because you still go blind.

I'm going with a time machine.

the perfect toaster,
every piece would come out exactly like you want it,
weather you toast five pieces of white or seven pieces of rye or 9 bagel's.

consistency , every time.

It would sell for under $65.00
light, medium , medium dark or deep brown.

Or needless, if their mouths are moving....

Another idea: a device in cars, like we already have on phones, where they can be deactivated by the owner in the event of a theft.

For safety's sake, I'd put in an annunciator that would cycle through, at full audio volume, a recording saying "Theft Detected: This Car Will Stop Itself in 60 Seconds" [in multiple languages, of course]. When the timer expires, the horn goes off and fuel flow drops by 10 percentage points every 10 seconds -90%-80%-70%.... When the fuel flow cuts off completely, all lights flash and the horn goes off intermittently.

That'd be the basic version. The premium version would play "My Sharona" continuously after the timer had reset, also at full audio volume.
