2. Five Business Ideas

1. When you go to a restaurant and you are seated, wait a while until the waiter finally shows up to ask for your drink orders(and possibly meal orders) which he takes and leaves. A few minutes later he will show up with your drinks and ask for your meal orders, if you are not ready he gives you a few more minutes. After you have eaten your meal, where you haven't seen your waiter since so you could have a refill on your drink, need to either wait for him or hunt him down so you can have desert or get your check.
The point is that it is that sometime you get an awesome waiter who is always there when you need him(or her) or you get the waiter who takes a smoke break every 5 minutes and see them rarely which can be a big waste of your time. My idea is to start a restaurant business that has a touchscreen computer at each booth that you can place all your orders on(drinks, appetizers, meal, and desert) where you can add special comments to, can request for a refill, request for a check, or even call the waiter to your table. this means that the waiter works on your time and you don't have to go hunting down for him(or her).
2. When I was a painter in a painting company, one of the problems that we would come across quite often is that the extension ladders were very difficult to control, especially using a 40 foot ladder fully extended. so what I propose is to make a lighter ladder that is made of composite materials of plastic and metals that is just as strong and has a wider base to it that would give the user more control over the ladder.
3. after using my mouse for extended periods of time, especially in my job of computer science, I start to get pain in my wrist. truthfully I think the idea of the mouse needs to be completely redesigned. My Idea for a mouse is basically designed around the hand, basically a glove that has sensors on the fingertips. this way it can work on any solid surface. you would do the different buttons of the mouse by having different combinations of fingers down on the surface.
4. The other day when I was driving to work one of my speakers in my car came unpluged, and instead instead of me thinking o crap, I have to replace one of my speakers(because I didn't know that it had just came unpluged at the time) my first thought was that you notice the sound coming from the 4 directions tward you. My idea is to advance on surround sound by instead of just having right and left from stereo sound to increase this to front left, back left, front right, back right. This would bring a whole new level to music(being a musician myself) by bringing sound from 4 diffrent drections than just 2. Few possible problems with this is it could possibly be difficult to apply this to headphones since they are dual but with 2 speakers on each side that are slightly angled, this could possibly be done. The other possible flaw with this is that there is no music written to this and may be difficult to convence artist to switch since it would require more work for them.
5. My last idea is to start a painting company since I really enjoy painting and it is something that I am good at.
