Not-invented-yet-contest
The informative newsletter of Knowledgeland (KL | Nederland Kennisland: its mission is to help establish the Netherlands as one of the key regions in the international knowledge economy) brought to my notice the Not-Invented-Yet-Contest. This contest is for the Dutch organisation TNO to celebrate their 75 birthday. TNO aims to make scientific knowledge applicable to increase innovation in different fields. The Not-Invented-Yet-Contest offers everyone the possibility to send in their great -but not yet invented yet- idea. You can send in ideas by making a movie. A nice one I found on the site is the Stuff Finder (find your keys, sunglasses etc with help of a small device that detects the microchips you've attached on the keys and sunglasses...). For ideas have a look at Half Bakery, cool website with lots of practical and unpractical inventions to improve your life...
