How to not become a laptop hunchback - Ergonomic Solution

Laptops are making us hunchbacks :(
It seems very obvious that laptops are not ergonomically friendly. We are all, finally, becoming ergonomically aware and yet we still succumb to laptops in all their hunching inducing glory. This is not okay. We can sit it the most suitably designed, ergonomic (designer even) chair, but as our hands are at our waist, if our heads are there too, it’s just not gonna help.

So, a seedling of a solution? Put a neck on the thing! Of all of our crazy technological advancements I’m proposing something that may actually move us back a bit – literally ;)

The screen of a laptop, either, needs to be a separate piece from the keyboard, or, it needs to have a neck that extends the screen up. For proper posture, the tip of your nose should hit the middle of your screen (if for some reason it was that close to your face, in which case I don’t want to know why that would be...).

If it was a separate piece it should have little feet to stand on so you could place it where you need to - like on a stack of books or something like that. And if the feet actually looked like feet, well, that would just be awesome. 

It seems absolutely crazy to me that this is not an issue. I’ve discussed this silliness with others and they agree with the decline of posture. I know our heads are fuller with immense amounts of information, but ummm, it doesn’t actually weigh anything - tangibly speaking. So pick it up and straighten out. And spread the word so we can encourage the development of a truly valuable consumer product innovation. I mean, those are pretty hard to come by!

Dynamics Inc: The End to Credit Card Fraud?

Dynamics Inc has designed a new innovative multi functional credit card, in order to try and prevent credit card fraud.

One of the largest threats in the information age is identity theft and fraud.I am sure everyone could breath a little easier if credit card theft was eliminated entirely. It sounds too good to be true, and it probably is. But Dynamics Inc has designed a new card that is heading in the right direction to help protect identity and our credit cards. This card was created for convenience, and security. The new card has buttons on it, which allows for the person to punch in a personalized identification number in accordance to an account that the person wants to access. If the card is stolen the information strip on the back is blank, and the card is useless unless the person knows the PIN.

This is one idea that could potentially elimante credit card fraud.
Could this be the future of credit cards? Let us know what you think!

A new cell phone feature called Bouncin'

Let's talk about cell phones.
You know, when you're driving, or in a meeting, or just doing something that limits you from answering your phone, and maybe you're expecting a call, or hoping for a particular call - and you want to explain why you can't get to the phone but you can't just yet? Sure usually, it's no big deal, they can wait, right?! But sometimes it is a big'ish deal, so...

Why not add a feature, like an ‘out of office reply’ (which we'll call, the bouncer) that says “I’m driving” or “In a meeting” or “Let’s pretend I care” or whatever little explanation or notification you want your phone to automatically respond with (bounce back) so that you don’t have to!

I’m not too savvy regarding mobile technology options and capabilities so maybe this or something even better exists?
