Hi-Tech Neighborhood Watch

Tech, Politics and Social IssueTom WalmaComment

Idea: Mini local surveillance networks where people in a neighborhood share access to their outdoor cameras with each other and use state-of-the-art software to detect gunshots, follow people from camera to camera, etc. The police wouldn't have direct access to the video, but the people could manually send video to the police if they choose to do so. Also: it is meant to be the opposite of "big brother" mass surveillance; people in the neighborhood might provide more humanity and understand the context of a situation better than police doing "big brother"-style mass police surveillance (for example, people in the neighborhood might only report the most dangerous criminals); watching your loved ones from camera-to-camera as they walk to the bus to make sure they're safe

Slower Lawn Growth Ideas

Norman DwayneComment

Brainstorming ideas to slow lawn growth so you don't have to mow the lawn as often, such as pouring coffee on it, having weedwackers that come out of the ground, shocking the grass with freezing cold water, etc. Also: people in the past and people in the future will be shocked that we spent so much time and labor on our lawns; using humanoid robots to do Flintstones-like manual labor (like using "washing boards" to wash clothes by hand) instead of using machines like dishwashers, washing machines, and even weedwackers; the risk of ruining the ground and creating a sinkhole that destroys your house while trying crazy things to try to slow down the lawn growth

IRL Chat Finder App

App, Social MediaTom WalmaComment

Idea: An app in which you electronically connect with (or match with) nearby strangers when you're in a public social venue (like a bar) so then you can more easily physically approach them to chat, make friends, flirt, etc. Also: there could be a feature to pay the stranger to talk to you (instead of buying them a beer); the app could have venue-specific features such as to join a group at a "board game bar" or join a team or find an opponent at a sports complex; the app could have you list favorite conversation topics and/or the type of people you want to talk to (such as women who only want to talk to other women); possible downsides of the app, such as coming off as desperate and how paying for conversations could encourage fake non-sincere social interactions
