Best and Worst New Inventions

TOP 3:
Glove-friendly touch screens

Everyone likes to text while walking outside, no matter what the weather is. It is highly appealing to be able to text and use apps on your smart phone while wearing gloves. This invention for the smart phone (if it works really well) will definitely take off, and possibly be the norm.

GPS-enabled walking stick

Not every new invention has to be geared for the younger generation. It would be nice if older people who needed assistance walking could now also know that with their handy cane with a GPA built in. This invention would be appealing to both the younger generation and the older generation.

Bio-metric Security phone

It would be nice to know that someone can't get into your phone just by guessing your passcode, or looking over your shoulder. Not only would this be great against sneaky friends and mothers, if your phone is stolen basically nobody can get into it and take your information except you.

Robotic balls

Balls are for little children to play with. A little kid is practically in heaven in an old giant cardboard box. Why some parents would be stupid enough to spend hundreds of dollars on a toy that would probably break instead of a nice basketball, is beyond me. 

Double Touchscreen sided phone

A person doesn't need a double sided phone. If they're looking at one side of the phone, they're obviously not looking at the other side, and what's the point of it being there if they're not even going to look at it? The phone companies should spend more time improving the one sided phone before they begin this journey.

Nokia call phone with 35 day of battery life

Yay, the indestructible phone now also holds it's charge forever. Somebody who is away from a place where they can charge their phone for more than a week probably has more problems on their mind then making sure their phone doesn't die.

J. K. Rolling and the Failure Speech

J.K. Rolling's commencement speech was a wonderful speech in my opinion. Contrary to what she implied at the very start about how no one would remember what was said, I believe that very few people will forget. The speech itself, while full of jokes and Harry Potter references, went on a much deeper level; not to mention sharing some very personal stories and talking about tough issues. Talking about failure and all the hardships that come with it will probably impact the graduates more than they probably thought a commencement speech ever could. It doesn't hurt to add that the speech was given by one of the most influential and magical authors alive.
