Multi-Power Solar Auto Vent II

    The multi-power solar auto vent is a very good invention. This device allows the car to vent while sitting in hot weather. If the you leave your pet in there for a small amount of time you can't leave the window down but so far because he/she may jump out. Everyone knows that even a cracked window will not help anyone to be able to breathe in very hot and humid weather. When the car is left in the heat this device allows your car to be able to breathe while your away doing whatever.

  Advent of the Robotic Monkeys

    The breakthrough of this technology is completely astounding.  To be able to operate a robotic limb off of brainwaves, which could replace a missing arm is a god send.  This could evolve into replacement legs, hands, feet, even replacing all the missing limbs of a quadriplegic.  The training involved with this is very rigorous, but I think the pay off is worth it.
    The scientists were able to achieve this by mapping out the brain.  They found out which path neurons took when they were being fired to move an arm.  They were then able to tap into those paths and send electronic signals along those paths in order to get the monkey to move the arm.  It is discoveries like this that could not be imagined 20 years ago, it just amazes me.

Inventor Rejoices as TVs Go Dark

    To operate multiple televisions with one remote has been done before with the invention of a universal remote.  These remotes operate just about every kind of TV with the help of codes.  These are codes that the user has to enter in the remote before it can be used on a particular TV.  But a remote that already has the codes installed and only has one function hasn't been done.  That is where TV-B-Gone steps in.
    This little remote, about the size of a key-fob for a car, is the invention of Mitch Altman.  Previous owner of 3ware, Mitch created the TV-B-Gone to turn off televisions.  That's what this remote does, turns off TV's.  The implications of this are endless.  Just think about the fun you could have goofing around with friends.  Parents can also have a perfect tool for their children to pay attention to them.  And it could go on and on.
    Mitch concocted this little gizmo when out to lunch with some friends.  He realized that they were paying attention to a TV rather than to themselves and their conversation.  So out of a different conversation with his friends the TV-B-Gone was born.  It only has one button, that when pressed, sends out a signal with about 209 different codes for TV's.  Once a certain code is reached, the most popular TVs first, the television just shuts off.  With the trail runs, Mitch noticed that most people in the States just shrugged it off and went about on their way or with what they were doing.  Now this could lead to alot of trouble in some cases, like in a sports bar around special and/or important events (we don't want to think about the results), but some self restraint could be help.
    My opinion on this is that when distractions, like television, keep us from conversing with each other, we lose a part of ourselves.  This invention is not just a toy, it's an eye opener.  It's allowing us to regain some control in our lives without having to depend on TV.  It's also a great source of fun and innocent mayhem.  We need some of that to break up the day.
