Why Not?

The internet is at once a mix of the incredibly useful and useless. The law of statistics says that in any large group (such as web pages) some will be great and some will be average and some will be sh!t. I leave it to you to place this blog within that sphere.

However reading The Economist pointed me to a site called Why Not? People post ideas for the world to use as it sees fit. An open R&D operation. The top rated idea is a car brake light meter that shows the intensity of the braking through a scale of lights, like on a stereo. It is really fascinating what good ideas are out there.

I wonder if the manufacturers of the various mentioned products will get around to reading this and incorporate the ideas?
