Things I would like to see invented
Hello everyone, this post has nothing spiritual in it, so if you’re looking for an encouraging devotional, please see the other posts! This one is just me rambling…
I often come across things in life that disappoint me, things I don’t understand, and they cause me to think, “Why hasn’t anyone invented something to take care of this problem yet?!” So I would like to propose a list of things that I think should be invented, so that in case anyone who reads this blog is rich and moves in influential circles, they can perhaps take action and make my ideas a reality.
Things I would like to see invented
1. A deodorant that truly does go on clear and offers long-lasting protection against wetness and odor. I have tried several brands that say they do this, and yet every time I wear a black top, the white lines appear. And for someone like me who happens to sweat like a pig, wetness protection is a must. I have not found a deodorant that lives up to it’s word on this. I know there’s a new one out that says it’s prescription strength, but it has an ingredient in it that causes breast cancer and I don’t want to risk it. So why doesn’t anyone invent a deodorant that works and doesn’t kill us while it’s working?
2. A hand-held device that doctors can use to simply point at a patient, and it tells them everything that is wrong and right with the patient’s health. Much like what they use on Star Trek. I believe it’s called a medical tri-quarter. No poking or prodding, just a machine that is pointed at you and in a few seconds the doctor knows everything about your internal organs and what is functioning properly or improperly. It’s genius. Why do they not use these things now? Seriously? It NEEDS to be invented. Doctors and nurses just need to give up their control issues and their weird enjoyment in making us suffer. (Sorry if you’re a doctor or a nurse, please understand that last statement was just for added drama, I don’t actually mean it.)
3. Re-chargeable batteries that never die. I don’t understand why batteries are called “re-chargeable” when there actually comes a point in their lifetime that they can’t be recharged anymore. To me the term “re-chargeable batteries” means that they last forever, because you can keep recharging them. But that is not true. Re-chargeable batteries actually reach a point when they die and can not be used anymore. Why, then, are they called rechargeable batteries if, at some point you can not recharge them anymore?
That’s all I can think of right now. I’ll let you know when I remember more things I would like to see invented.
For now though, what are your ideas of things that need to be invented? We can make the world a better place, ladies, so just voice your ideas!


These are all awesome inventions! I love everyone’s ideas. Gloria, amen to the underwire bra predicament. Marie, your car invention is a great idea. And Susan, a chip implant that is a universal translator would be wonderful… I’ve seen that on Star Trek too!
A chip which, when surgically implanted into the brain, will allow us to communicate easily in any number of languages simply by changing commands in some other device which I can carry with me when I travel.
I would like to see a sugar substitute that really does substitute for sugar in every way, especially taste, but has NO calories and does NOT cause cancer.
I’d also like a remedy for sea-sickness that really works.
Surely someone could invent an underwire bra that doesn’t poke.
or a “permanent” that doesn’t have to be repeated every 3 months.
For my work, I’d like to see a computer program that can convert scanned material into text that can be edited. Most of my other computer wishes have been met through my new Mac.
I would REALLY like to see someone invent a toilet that both conserves water and does not get stopped up easily!!!
Like you, Jessica, I am jealous of those folks on Star Trek. But what I want is a replicator that can manufacture dinner at the push of a button. I would even promise not to use it EVERY night for dinner, but it sure would be handy tonight!
I would like a car that drives by itself. The car would be fuel effiecent and would not go above 80 miles per hour.
