Thoughts about technology

-What if playing games could be as easy and accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level, the way that watching a movie or video is so effortless?
-What if every single aspect of our lives could be gamified?
-What if everything we visually experience could be quantified with eye tracking and optimized to fit our eyes perfectly?
-What if screens could be as flexible and lightweight as magazine paper?
-What if nobody "hacked" or broke into each other's technology and invaded their digital privacy?
-What if hardware upgrades could be downloaded?
-What if there was visible signage at a parking lot indicating how many parking spaces were available, and displayed such a number in real time so you wouldn't waste your time trying to look? What if it could detect when a car was "moving in" on a parking space so that you wouldn't try to confusedly compete for it?
-Similarly, what if you could determine in advance, using smart technology, if a restaurant or retail store was "packed"?

  1. these questions are very practical but innovative. you could probably create a lot of great things based on these questions. definitely a fan of lightweight screens (what if they were sturdy as screens are now but also light?)

  2. I love the parking lot sign idea! That would be nice.
