RE: 10 Interesting Things I Learned in 2017

in #life6 years ago

I have a silly idea for keys. Which I guess I can just talk about because this is a distributed blockchain lol. The idea is simply to hide an airbag about the size of a softball when inflated, inside a keychain that's no bigger than a large tums. One which remains tiny all the time, unless it's actually submerged for more than three seconds, at which point, it pops open using a tiny co2 charge, and makes sure you don't lose the keys to your yacht at least. I'm so close to getting to 420 ideas and publishing. Each idea is supposed to have a little narrative. With this one it's super easy. Alx

This sounds like a great idea to me.

There are sites like "Quirky" in which you can post an idea like this. When you submit the idea it creates a community wide brainstorm. You, and other people, can submit ideas for how it would work. If there are enough votes, or the company decides it seems like a good idea, they make it a reality. Pretty cool way to do it and get paid, if you don't want (or can't) to do all the work yourself. Give us a link and I'll check it out too. (By the way, I'd add a GPS tracker to the device idea. Then, it not only floats, but you can track it with a smart phone.)

Isn't quirky kinda dead? I liked the idea, but we need a Quirky that is truly of for and by the people, and also, they didn't get too many good or great ideas there years ago when I last looked.

That's probably exactly halfway down my list of "ideas" that I'm planning to publish in a children's book, the core of which, is "A Story", that goes viral, and ends up actually "Being The Thing", which finally facilitates egalitarian "City-Zen Sourcing" [say "CryptoQuirk"], and changes EVERYTHING. Thanks though. I do think it could work. If only more people could afford boats lol
