My mind wandered again and I randomly started to think about how cool it would be if there could be some sort of transforming glass that could be used as both a clear transparent window and a mirror. It could transform itself between the two. If somehow one could simply flip a switch to transform it from a simple clear transparent window to a solid opaque mirror.

I was thinking about this because I love windows. I would live in an all glass house if I could. I just love how bright and airy and freeing windows make a house feel. I love the natural light and being able to see outside...well if you were to live in a beautiful setting or had a beautifully landscaped yard...actually it doesn't even have to be beautiful, I would even take a regular ole tidy yard over a wall.

I mean, wouldn't you want to look at that instead? I know I would. I would much rather be able to look into my backyard than look at the walls and feel claustrophobic. Maybe if you lived in a ginormous mansion it wouldn't matter, but I live in a regular ole starter home so any chance to create an illusion of bigger and brighter I'll take.

Anywho, this "transforming glass" would be perfect for the bathroom. I would love to have the large slab of wall above my bathroom sink be a completely transparent window that overlooked the yard instead of the ginormous generic builder grade borderless mirror...but I still do need a mirror in the bathroom so that's where the "transforming glass" would come into play. If somehow I could just flip a switch when I need a mirror to do what I need to do and then switch it off so it became a transparent window again to the outside...that would totally be awesome.

Something like this...where if I want the mirror I just flip it up and if I want the window again I can just flip the switch down and there's some sort of magical technology in the glass that responds to a closed circuit vs. an open circuit which allows it to transform itself.

Does such a thing exist? Is it even possible? I have no idea, but if it were I think that would be so awesome and cool.

Ok, so I've had this idea rolling around in my head for a long while now...it started way back about 10 years ago when I wasn't old enough to drive. Oh how I wished I could drive. I hated having to rely on my busy parents to take me...or rather not take me...everywhere.

Anywho, my idea is this...since we already have the technology to use GPS in our cars already, why not alter it to create a completely computerized GPS car where all you have to do is type in your current location then type in your destination and voila the car takes you. No driving involved on our part.

The car would run via the computerized GPS system, which would control everything...steering, speed (accelerating & decelerating), parking, etc. The GPS system would continuously be updated via wifi with info. for speed limits, construction zones, traffic alerts, etc. so....

No more getting lost, no more speeding (because the GPS controls the car and would know what the speed limits are for the area and drive accordingly), no more surprise traffic jams (the GPS would find and take alternative routes for you), no more falling asleep at the wheel, no more having to rely on other people for rides cause you're not old enough to drive, no more having to worry about designated drivers or DUI's since the car drives itself, etc. which means...no more getting tickets! The police can redirect their time and energy to real crimes and criminals instead of handing out tickets for traffic violations.

I also remember seeing a car commercial (at least I think I saw this in a car commercial...don't really remember) where it utilized sensors for parallel parking...to help guide you into a spot so you don't bump the car behind you and in front of you. Well this car would utilize that technology as well so that your car is always a certain preset distance away from the cars around you and also to park itself.

The only cons would be potential computer glitches and hackers getting into your system, but oh how wonderful it would be to have a car like this...oh and for those with long commutes to work, like I do, you could utilize that extra time that you would normally spend driving to get some work done or get some more sleep or something.
