Search for problems

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi All,

 

I'm in search of problems - problems that can be solved and if solved make people's life better - especially day-to-day problems we face.

 

Have you ever faced a problem and wondered "Why nobody has found a solution for this yet?" or felt "Hey! This is irritating yaar..... It would be better if we have a better solution for this" ?

 

Kindly share the problem with me. I'll try to find a solution if the problem is solvable by Micro-controllers/Micro-processors.

 

Example:
--------------
While riding my bike I decided to make a lane change. I looked at my side mirror to check vehicles on the lane I'm going to join. My side mirror gave me a "clear" flag. So I turned my corresponding turn light on and started moving towards that lane. Suddenly I was horrified by the horn of a car that was very close to me and I restricted myself from moving towards that lane further. I was wondering "How that car came into picture all of a sudden?" "Could it have come from a long distance very fast after I checked my side mirror?" or "Did I miss it while checking the side mirror?" "What would have happened if I didn't use my turn light or made a turn suddenly?"

 

Later I found that, that car was on my "Blind Spot" (the region which is not visible to our eyes and not through our side mirrors - usually 15-20 degrees on immediate back of the rider). Why nobody has not found a solution to this problem yet? Isn't it a matter of life and death?

    Sorry, your message got me a bit in an obstentatious mood. I just don't get what you want to do with all the problems we may post here. I mean: have you figured out how to solve your "blind spot" thing…

    Why does my poo leave marks on the toilet some days? Why has no-one found a solution for that?

    I have a device called a "neck", which allows my head to swivel and my eyes to see behind me.  It's not as effective as an owl's neck which can turn up to 270 degrees, but it works better than trusting mirrors.  And yes, it is a matter of life and death, particularly if you're driving a car or other large vehicle.
