Keen On A Career In Tech? Then Can You Please Invent The Following?

All in all, it’s a pretty convenient time to be alive - you can get a private driver, food delivery, clothes and groceries all from the palm of your hand. But I can’t help but feel like there are a few modern conveniences that are missing from the future. It’s 2022! Aren’t we supposed to have flying cars and robot servants? 

Anyway, I’m willing to pitch you some world-class ideas about stuff you should invent after you’re trained up and ready. Just make sure that when you’re the head of a multi-billion dollar company based on these devices, you cut me a check, okay?

In-eye camera

I honestly think about this one all the time - you’re walking home, and you just catch a little moment in time. Maybe the sunset has hit a deep shade of amber, and office lights are just turning on as commuters picturesquely stare thoughtfully out the window. You go to capture it on your phone… and the moment’s gone! 

Or you’re out with your mates and you just have one of those times where you wish you could save that memory somewhere in all its glory without having to get everyone to look at the camera.

My candid picture game would be seriously elevated by having a little camera in my eye that takes the perfect photo of what I’m looking at.

Animal Translator

Imagine if you could find out what your pet is thinking about when they walk into the room you’re in, pause, and then bolt off somewhere. Where do they have to be so urgently? What are they doing?

Could I explain to them why I have to trim their nails, or could they tell me why they will eat something out of the garbage, but refuse my premium pet food?

With the handy headset you’ll develop, I will wonder no further.

Reversible Haircuts

I think we’ve all been in the situation where we’ve asked for just a trim, or maybe tried something new and walked out of there with an absolutely rude cut and an urgent need for a place that sells good hats.

My proposal is this: I want the video game haircut experience, where I can plonk myself down in the chair, and try out any haircut my heart desires. You could go from buzzcut, to mullet to a sensible bob in a matter of seconds, and reverse it all with the press of a button.

Night-out planner for you and your flaky group

Making plans with mates can be such a hassle sometimes. Everyone’s free on different dates, they get double booked, someone’s gluten-free now. It’s damn near impossible to get a night where everyone’s free, and then being able to agree on where to go and what to do. 

What if you could all punch in what your interests and preferences are, then the program does it all for you? All you have to do on the night is rock up, and it books in a great new restaurant that no-one’s been to, at a convenient location and a good price? Is that too much to ask? Get onto it!

Outfit Source Detector

You know when you see someone out on the street or at the markets and you wish you could find out where they got that sick fit? My pitch to you is to build some sort of device where I could take a picture of someone (maybe discreetly using the in-eye camera you also invented?) and it told me what they were wearing, where they got it and how much it would set me back. 

To be honest I think I’d end up finding out my tastes are far too expensive for my budget, but I’d like the option at least!
