10 Ideas Blog

The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose YourselfEach week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions.  This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.

In this installment of 10 ideas we were inspired by improving our at-home and mobile work stations with electronics and other gadgets. At first you may think some of these ideas are questionable, but we think they would be awesome additions to not just our work stations, but to our daily lives. Check them out!

Terran on Electronics & Energy

Most dogs like to get their bellies rubbed, at least our dogs do! What if we collected the energy our dogs created when they are “leg thumping” to power our work stations? We all have electronics that need power; our phones, computers, printers, etc. Our dogs energy could be turned into energy used elsewhere. Genius! But what about the outdoors? Could it work on battery operated items like ice thickness measurers or bee hive cameras? I think we are really onto something here…

River on Electronics & Energy

We are always looking for ways to improve productivity and I think music can help. A button activated pen that plays music while you are working is a great option. If it contained bluetooth, you would also be able to use it in public. You’ve heard of waterproof phone cases, but what about waterproof laptop cases? Seems like it would come in handy when having a water gun fight. Let’s be honest…no one likes to sit at their desk for hours and hours with no where to go. What if our chairs were radio controlled to move wherever we wanted? Hungry? Theres a button for the kitchen. Bored? There’s a button to spin in circles. Need to reach something up high? There’s a go go gadget button to lift you up! Productivity at its finest.
