Security Exophone

Tech, InventionTom WalmaComment

Idea: An "exophone" containing a metal box in which you put your Apple/Android phone to block its WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and microphone. The metal box has one USB/lightning cable sticking out, through which all data is passed between the Apple/Android phone and the exophone, including screen output, touch screen input, mic input, speaker output, Bluetooth, wired Ethernet (with location info stripped), etc. The exophone would contain it's own screen/mic/speaker/WiFi/cellular whose data is sent through the USB/lightning cable to the Apple/Android phone. There would be several physical switches on the exophone to enable/disable sending different types of data (such as GPS, Bluetooth, microphone) into the Apple/Android phone. That way, you have physical/hardware control over your privacy (because Apple, Google, and software in general cannot be trusted)

Parking Info in Map Apps

App, CarsRyan BrownComment

Idea: For map apps to warn you if there are no available parking spots near your destination, and to give you real-time info to help you park. Also: if pizza places allow you to track a pizza in real-time, why can't map apps keep track of parking in real-time; the app could tell you to hurry up to get the last spot before another car; helping you avoid red lights or cops in real-time

Motorized Ice Sled

InventionFat SteveComment

Idea: A lightweight motorized sled or an "ice boat" to allow you to go ice fishing when the lake ice isn't thick enough for a full-sized snowmobile. Also: using a hovercraft to drive over weak lake ice; using a snow sled to drag people who pass out drunk to the car

Dissonance App

App, Social Media, NSFW, EvilEmmanuel LechugaComment

Idea: An app ("Dissonance App", "dissonance" being the opposite of harmony) that connects two people to have a toxic/hateful real-life encounter with each other. The app can filter by what you're angry about (racism, divorce, a petty topic like pineapple on pizza), the action you want to take (dating, arguing, boxing or bare-knuckle brawling), and/or the characteristics of the person to connect with (social class, body part proportions, whether they look like your ex). Also: if you to release your anger using this app you might be less angry in real life and on other dating apps and social apps; the "match found" icon could be a middle finger or a devil emoji; there could be a spectator mode to allow other people to witness the real-life encounters
