I would invent a vehicle that moved the maximum amount of people while taking up the minimum amount of space, in order to get all the inconsiderate commuters out of my way while I'm trying to get to work in the morning.

Ideally the vehicle would travel on separate roads thus further maximising the riding space for me and everybody else on the Org.

Further refinements would be to link the vehicles together and provide a steering system such that the 'driver' only has to accelerate and brake.

I'd invent a machine that could record everything I see just by the power of thought it'self.

Then when I see some ars*h*le in the wrong lane of the roundabout and then take a left turn from the right hand lane without indicating, and then swerve in front of me and then change lanes again, and then finally decide that they wanted the inside lane after all, and then I drive past and see that they are talking on the phone (not hands free).

That I could automatically have recorded all of this and send it to the police.

Not that this sort of thing ever goes on in the real world so no need for my invention really is there.

I have! About 20 times...

You are of course referring to Bessie, the finest road paving machine ever built.

I guess two things spring to mind,

the first would be the ultimate "life tool" a small device that rewinds time 10 seconds, useful in the garage when you've just overtightened that bolt or something, but equally if in conversation you just put you foot in it?, I'm sure you could think of a million and one uses if you put your mind to it.

The second would be a neural interface for bikes, can you imagine, just being able to plug yourself in and the bike do what your mind told it to (OK some minds perhaps that wouldn't be a good idea ), but not delay instant response, yeah, I'd have one.

Cheers Mark.

Yup, like when you have just spotted that speed camera that 1 second too late.

Hurry up and invent it then, I'll be your guinea pig, no problems.
