"Give and Take" Social Media and Digital Media App and Web Site

App, Social MediaTom WalmaComment

Idea: A social media and digital media app/site where when you post, you must classify the post as either 1) free, 2) a post meant to give other people enjoyment (they "take" selfish enjoyment) and therefore they must pay to consume it, or 3) a post that other people earn a micropayment/karma when they read or respond to it (i.e. they "give" advice/effort/attention). Also: all digital media (such as Netflix) could be part of this "give and take" system, not just traditional social media posts, so you could, for example, give advice to people and/or watch commercials to earn enough money to watch a Netflix movie; this structure that encourages people to ask for help/advice could coax people into asking for help, and could make other people feel good for helping them, thus making social media feel less selfish and "hollow"; examples of "take" posts: movies, news, juicy gossip, p*rn, art; examples of "give" posts: commercials/ads, requests for advice, requests for music recommendations/playlists, tit-for-tat artist reviews, birthday posts; the site would probably include financial micropayments as well as a general karma/point system for helping people and group/category specific point systems (such as to encourage comedians to watch or rate each other's videos)

Silver Screening (Morning Movies for Seniors in Theaters)

Movie, Event or ActivityRob BagleyComment

Idea: For movie theaters to show a movie in the morning specifically for senior citizens, including discounts and special accommodations. Also: special accommodations could include selling Werther's and prune juice as snacks, having large-text subtitles, having an intermission to explain the plot of the movie to those who have questions, having defibrillators on standby, etc.; some movies would star older actors and be in the recently popular mini-genre where the plot is "they're not too old to do some fun thing"; memories of old people giving us Werther's as kids, and how Sugar-Free Werther's don't cause cavities because (according to AI) the bacteria in your mouth can't ferment the sugar alcohols into tooth-enamel-destroying acid

BBQ Beef Flavored Crackers

FoodJuwan TettComment

Idea: To create a new A1 BBQ beef flavor of Ritz crackers. Also: the lack of variety of cracker flavors compared to chips; the risk of a "classy" brand like Ritz losing it's high-class image if it has too many flavors; if you're gonna blow through a bunch of calories, you want to get more enjoyment out of it than by eating plain crackers; putting chili-flavored Fritos on chili dogs and the joy of eating foods in non-traditional combinations or times

Restaurant Private Videochat Booths

Event or Activity, Food, Tech, Business IdeaNicole GilbertComment

Idea: For restaurants to have enclosed private booths with a small table and a video screen on which to videochat with someone in another videochat booth at another restaurant (usually in a different city). Also: people who can't agree on which restaurant to go to could go to different restaurants and still kind of eat together; the video of you eating could be livestreamed and/or saved so you can review it later to, for example, hyper-analyze the video of a date; the walls of the private booths might need to be partially transparent to discourage people from having hanky-panky in them
