A lunch cooler that stays cold longer than 3 hours. (I have one that has built-in ice packs, I add another ice block pack, and yogurt gets warm by lunch-time :grumble: )

What do you wish someone would invent?

    I'm with you on the lunch cooler! I work in a different place in the city every day and have a somewhat unpredictable schedule, so I have to bring a lunch with me whether I plan to be out around lunch time or not. Since I'm either in my car on the way to an assignment, or at the assignment, I rarely have a refrigerator for my lunch and, after a while in the summer heat, my veggies start to get soft and my hummus gets warm :/

    freeze a 16 oz water bottle and put it in your lunch bag/box/cooler. Your yogurt will stay cold by lunchtime.

    Maybe you could try freezing the yogurt. When my kids were younger they used to freeze gogurts and they were defrosted by lunchtime.

    a nuero-interface for implanted technology that would eliminate need for computers, cell phones, and would monitor your health and assist with your health. Maybe will be reality in 50 years?

    hydroflask.com makes a food flask - keeps soup hot, and could keep yogurt cold (if you put it right in to it, instead of leaving it in the yogurt container

    My thoughts exactly. Precisely one I could afford to live in.

    a time machine!
    and a travel pod! (like a phone box you just dial a country/place you want to be, tune around and voila!)

    No I am thinking of something that will allow you to access extra memory, download skills such as speaking another language, engineering, etc. you would be able to access information by thinking, contact other people. also it would be able to regulate your body chemistry using advanced medical techniques such as nanocytes. It could warn you potential problems with your health or even help reduce stress, or give your extra energy if you were fighting for survival etc. But it would be implanted in your body, and would be as widespread as having a cell phone.
