uninspiration

Am now thoroughly bored of my idea. It was going to be some sort of baby soother/babysitter thing, but i can't quite figure out how to develop it so it's not taking over from parenting and so people feel comfortable trusting something essentially non-human. Though speaking briefly in class today we could or should think more about tech in society rather than get bogged down with all the technological details. So if that's the case maybe i could imagine society in 10 years time and how tech has developed so we are less dependant on tech but work more together, which is plausible. Also am interested by the idea of autonomous robots and robots as carers. This pic shows a robot skeleton that is supposed to help nurses lift imobile patients.

so if i'm going to stick with this concept i should probably look into the theorys behind changing technology a bit more.


my other idea i felt inspired by last night (but not so this morning) was a gaming device that uses all 5 senses which sounds really cool but also a little disheartening cuz from what i've looked at it seems that this concept is already underway, and if thats the case then it might not be technology in 10 years time but something a bit sooner than that.

Maybe i just want to do the sensory gaming thing just because they've invented something called the ismell and this amuses me
