There are plenty of things that we will need in the future. New, faster forms of public transportation to catch up with urban sprawl; food capsules that will provide nutrition our bodies need when we don’t have enough time to eat; jet packs because, well…because jet packs.
There are also, however, those things that we could really use today, or even yesterday. These are the small things that you think to yourself – “Why don’t we have that?!” And then you think, “That’s a genius start-up idea!” And then you get lazy.
Well, if you have some spare time that you’re willing to devote to making the world a better place, this is the stuff that would fix the little day-to-day things that can get pretty annoying. Just be sure to thank us in your Nobel Prize acceptance speech…

Now, we just have to figure out how we can get these things in motion. I would recommend writing to your Congressmen (don’t do that), and/or sharing this article (definitely do that). Tell us: What little nit-picky thing do you wish there was a solution for?
