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...

Freaky hand lol
lol! evolution of the pinky. Think we'll make all the other animals jealous with more than one thumb. Might cause a revolution. I agree with the oven thing. I nearly burned down my kitchen in my old apartment because I didn't know the range was on and the pizza box caught on fire. That foam is obnoxious to clean up. I always had a problem with alarm clocks because of that reason. I had a tendency to put it on the 24hr setting (if available) for that reason.
