Things you'd like inventing that haven't been invented yet

Reminds me of the Half Bakery, the old-school internet place where half-baked ideas went to be completely baked.

How about telly 'smelly'vision? I remember about 1980 when the BBC's Tomorrow's World had such an experiment,albeit quite primitive. The Radio Times gave out cards you had to scratch and sniff at the same time as the program told you to. 40 years on why doesn't someone invent tellys and phones that either give out smells,or transmit smell thought processes to your brain?!!

Mild Logic Pill.

This pill makes people start thinking a bit more logically and will remove silliness from the human race. Buuuut, we want mild logic because if you get too logical then you forget about people's feelings and emotions.

Yes indeedy!
[" old-school internet place" - do you mean web-site? ]

One of the early, great, creative, whimsical sites.

It's still going strong; a score of ideas in 2021 already: https://www.halfbakery.com/index-recent-by-date.html

(this was the one that hooked me in: https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Film_20Noir_20Home#964112400 From July 2000!)

A pint glass that never empties.

A whiskey bottle which refills itself

You can drink an infinite amount of alcohol, and only need two pints.
