I was intrigued by this possibility. What if you woke up one morning with the ability to create something what will you do? And why? Would you invent:
1. Something for yourself
2. Something to help the masses
3. Something to cure sickness
4. Something that will shake the scientific world and technology.
5. Other.
Of the above, I would like to create a Transporter / Teleporter that can instantly bridge / bend Time and Space like a wormhole to reach you to the other side. As a concept I am totally fascinated by this. I think this would be the next greatest invention (after fire) that will be the dividing line in the Space Age technology.
What are your thoughts?

Well, your idea was my first thought! I think that I would invent a self-funding foundation that would insure that every child had a loving home. It would work with parents and get them education if they needed it to advance to a fulfilling job that would support their family. If my theory is correct, we would see at least a 50% drop in crime by the time those children were old enough to start their own families.

Ah, a cure for our social ills. I like it. I think you have hit the nail on the head. For me too, the solution to crime is to nurture the children today...save them and protect them.
The one flaw is see is the education system itself. How would you transmit 'values' in today's society?

@Gita17112016 I think that if the children were nurtured properly, loved, and were secure we would not have to transmit values. The parents would be teaching them to the children because they would have the time and would not be struggling with money worries because they had good jobs.

@dragon54u An ideal situation. Agreed. But.
I once taught 5 separate classes of 11 year old to 16 year olds. I was doing career guidance, so I ask what they wanted to do later as they grew up. Generally, the girls wanted to work and the boys wanted to do housework or nothing. So i asked the boys what about a family and house? They said they will take their parents house. So what if your parents were still alive...well, Miss, I'll kill them. What?? I'll poison them. that's what the boys said with a straight face.
On parent's day I ask the parent what they thought about that answer...they just shrugged and laugh. The parent's reaction troubled me too.
To me, values and tradition must be transmitted. Or we lose everything. What do you think?

I think it's time people made a choice @Gita17112016 either have lots of babies and stop trying to extend life or stop having so many babies and go ahead with extending life. Somebody will have to deal with the population explosion sometime.

Animal lover ...a beautiful choice. Just the other day I was reading a post here on the increase in road kills and I lament the fact that man is constantly encroaching on the habitat of wild animals. Perhaps they go hand in hand...population explosion and its impact on wild life. what do you think?

@rebelann Exactly. And that's the greatest threat to the natural habitat of wild animals. We are overrunning them. And that's can't ever be good.

@Gita17112016 We are here at different times and so visibility of our posts is the question. All do not go to our profiles to look at our posts. What they see in the activity list is what they normally go for.

@allknowing You mean the notification list? Well, I think that's one way of looking at it.
But it seems to be that the fact that there is no Timer is a great way of leveling the field on this site. The one thing I do like and appreciate on this site is the fact that we can come whenever the time allows us...without a deadline. Off course, it kills the interaction, but you at least get a response.
I think one way to really improve things is for myLot administrators to stop paying by 'interaction' and pay by 'words'. Then it wouldn't matter who is on site.

Okay I am going to bite...what do you mean by a 'level playing field'? I thought everyone earn by the effort they put.

One of my problems is that I'm never really sure what I want to do, but I'd definitely like to do something meaningful so I guess I'd have to pick something to help the masses. I wouldn't venture into the medical field though because I'm far too squeamish, and I lost faith in doctors a long time ago.

@Gita17112016 I hope I never need one. I use homeopathic medicine when necessary.

@Gina145 Are you skilled in those areas? I recently had a homeopathic course for treating cancer and the result was positive. The medication was a bit strong though.

i guess you are still thinking things through. If you lost faith in doctors...what about faith healers?

Interesting question. I think I'd invent a way people could capture/store solar/wind/geothermal energy indefinitely and then convert to whatever form of energy (i.e., mechanical) they needed to, provided it could be at little or not cost. People could use it to cook, keep warm in the winter, cook in the summer, build whatever they needed to build.

@Gita17112016 No, I didn't. Sounds intriguing.
Not a scientist by any means, but inveterately curious.

@msiduri My niece corrected me and said the technology was first used by the Dutch. The video was on 'Mega Construction".
I am not into science either. I an in the social science field.But I am trying to use both right brain and left brain activity.

Intriguing answer. Saving and utilizing energy...did you watch the documentary on the technology used in the building of Dubai? The design of the towers, buildings, ice ski resort and the creation of 'new islands' was fascinating.
The technology was costly to implement but it was the prototype never yet seen in the world. It has all the elements of what your invention would be.
Try and watch this...you'll be as fascinated and riveted as I was.Are you a science person?

@Kandae11 Well, we have had some progress there. Space exploration shows that there may be one or two habitable planets or moons available. That could be a start.

A personal choice. That must mean something to you ...to have back your hearing, Is it very difficult for you?
