Awefully need some ideas.

I have a project at school where i have 8~9 months to make it. An information system that has to be unique and has to useful and something that is doable in the time frame i have. From research to the actual presentation of the finish project. And it has to be working by the deadline.

Please give me an idea or suggestion to what information system i should make. The argument is Automation vs. Manual; why i have to automate that part of an establishment's processes. And what programming languages i should use. And the database of it.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I havent been around for some time as I'm busy with university.
