Four Inventions Tag

So, I know this is a bit late, but Mart tagged me with the Four Inventions thing a while back and I've finally gotten around to it.

The rules are simple. I've got to list four things that I wish had already been invented and four things I wish had never been invented. Okay here goes...

Four Things That Need To Be Invented
1 - Psychosomatic food and drink. It'll taste like what you want it to taste like and adjust it's texture to match.
2 - Nanopaper. It uses electronic charges to "print" on it and, because of this, it can be reused over and over. Books made of this could plug directly into your PC to download new stories.
3 - Smart vaccinations that are attuned to each individual's genetic make-up and will get rid of anything wrong with the person.
4 - This one's related to number 3. It's basically the same thing but it works against insects, dust and dirt that find their way into your home.

Four Things That Should Never Have Been Invented
1 - Alcohol. While many people round the world drink responsibly, even more go out of their way to get so drunk that they become a danger to themselves and other people.
2 - Organised religion. Spirituality is such a personal thing that no religion can fit anybody one hundred percent, and yet they try to shoehorn themselves in, even adopting new prejudices because their new holy book told them to.
3 - Political correctness. It's a nice idea but it's gone too far, and actually become the thing it's meant to protect against by suppressing everyone's differences instead of celebrating them.
4 - Home education. While I'm not against this itself, I am against the self regulation rules they have in this country that allow a parent to ignore a child's education needs, then fill out their own progress report and not even be checked up on.

Now, I need some fresh victims as all the usual suspects have been tagged with this already. So, I'm tagging Elin, Dan and Espen.

At friggin last.. lol I like the nanopaper bit.. at least the 'book'feel will still be there and you won't strain your eyes on a screen who knows how many hours..

Cool eh? I have so many wants unfulfilled by this world that it was hard to narrow it down to just four.

The reject pile includes a universal translator that works on everything, clothing that regulates your body temperature to a comfortable level in all weather, and an alarm clock that has directed sound built in so it can wake you up but not annoy the neighbours.

It was difficult for me to whittle down to just four, too. For both categories. But I had to think of those with zero imagination or personality as well, you see.

Hey... There's an insult in there somewhere. You gonna let her talk to you like that Cois?

I thought of alcohol, but decided to just limit myself to the booze I dislike.
Tagging Espen? bigeyes

Maybe I should tag him for something - I'm still missing a T-shirt. devil

I figure Espen and Elin move in different circles to most of the people already tagged. Plus Dan's a virgin so he needs to be given it while he doesn't expect it. The tag, I mean. leftright

theoddbod Monday, August 13, 2007 10:20:17 PM

I'm sure he's in for a memorable experience...left

Bad WolfCois Monday, August 13, 2007 10:45:01 PM

Insult? what insult? i got no personality or imagination so i don't see it.. doh

Dark FurieFurie Monday, August 13, 2007 11:06:49 PM

PS: I already thought of psychosomatic food and drink when you were just a little lad. p

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, August 14, 2007 8:52:15 AM

Cause you haven't done a tag before. This is your first time.

Surely you weren't born when I was last classified as a little lad. p

Christopher DaSilvadannii Tuesday, August 14, 2007 6:41:45 PM

Yeah right right

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, August 14, 2007 7:35:56 PM

You have done one before? Oh, sorry, missed that.

Christopher DaSilvadannii Tuesday, August 14, 2007 8:06:57 PM

No, I never did that... but I guess you were pointing other kind of virginity... p


OMG, LET'S JUST DROP THE SUBJECT! p

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, August 14, 2007 8:31:32 PM

I'll invite Sugar over and see if she can decode your cryptic messages. lol

Christopher DaSilvadannii Tuesday, August 14, 2007 9:13:07 PM
