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 came up with some great ideas to make life more enjoyable, so we can be happy, healthy, and wise!  As usual, our furry friends served as major inspiration for our 10 ideas entries (the dogs do sit right at our feet while we journal!), but there were some non-dog-inspired entries as well.  Some of those, we believe, really could make everyone’s life a little better.

Terran on Being Happy, Healthy, and Wise

I, Terran, was focused on health.  We were learning about medical tools, and the idea of x-rays was on my mind.  I think that it would be great if the scientists of today could improve upon the x-ray. Imagine, if a doctor could carry a miniature version of an x-ray machine in his or her pocket.  Whenever someone came in needing a x-ray, he or she could pull it out and do a quick scan.  Of course, we’d want that mini x-ray machine to work without emitting radiation!

River on Being Happy, Healthy, and Wise

Have you ever noticed how offering someone a piece of gum or candy makes them smile? I, River, think it would be great to be able to make healthy, customized gum on demand, so I could offer a personalized flavor to anyone needing a reason to smile.  The person could choose a combination of flavors and even the perfect color or pattern for the gumball.  

You can see some of our other ideas from the week here:
