My thoughts on my Flash movie are that I imagine quite sometime from now that when I look back I will laugh at my naive methods of construction...... because if what I am doing right now is correct then this is just wrong.

Japan's Melody Highways

Another reason why we should look to Japan for innovations. Road signs, ticketing, speed bumps to control speed? Try music. In Japan they have created test roads with grooves that as you drive over it it will create a popular tune. You have to drive at the right speed to make the melody sound correct. The driver will be rewarded for driving correctly plus living near traffic must be more pleasant.

Timeless Design Needs Improvement

It is hard to think about items that have been around for decades as still needing design improvments, at least standard design features. There are three major design changes that I would love to see as a standard. Alarm clocks that have the time & am/pm and volume setting as a visual on the display face. I have such a problem setting my alarm. I always set it for night instead of day and my boyfriend will turn my volume down on the weekends so come monday I cannot hear it. I have four alarms so I believe that this is pretty common among various inexpensive table alarm clocks. The other is the "on" signal for stove/ovens. My oven has no signal that the burner is on, none beides the smell of natural gas. Most just have a small red light. This design flaw has caused one fire in my house when I was young and a number of potential fires over my lifetime. The sad thing is that this lack of design has caused a mass paranoia all across America as people think "did I turn the oven off",myself included. The final major design change I would love to see, and this will take awhile, is the evolution/transition of the pinky. This what I would love to see our hands look like...
