things that should exist but dont

things that should exist but dont:

- monkey digital camera - digital camera shaped like a monkey's face
- monkey tron - the tron film, but acted with monkeys
- polaroid digital camera - digital camera merged with a classic polaroid camera that prints the small polaroid prints instantly (could be mainly classic polaroid, with built in scanner that automatically scans the photo for authenticity) (eg like this)
- instant coffee cup - about the size or a bit larger than a thermal mug / flask, basically you put real espresso ground coffee in the bottom, and milk/water in a different compartment, then in the morning you wake up, press the button on the side and it then makes it for you (eg, you could set this up before you go to bed, then in the morning you press the button and it's ready) it would have to have a lid and then you could take it with you
- life size fabreeze / clothes freshener - basically this is so you can sleep in your clothes, you then get out of bed, walk through the large clothes freshener and it blows air over your clothes mixed with fabreeze and then you're ready to go to work as soon as you get out of bed (this would work well with the instant coffee maker)
- auto setup and use of old pcs for additional computing power - ie. you buy a new computer set it up on your desk, put your old computer in a cupboard, connect it to the new computer (long usb cable / network cable), and then Windows whatever auto detects it and farms out processing to the old computer as well as the new computer (eg for mp3 encoding / etc) this would mean you'd have a use for all the old computers companies chuck away each year (like all the p3-500mhz machines)

- obvious ones are: time travel, teleportors (get you to work instantly), the whole of britain working from home (all it should take is clever pc network access (VPN broadband access) and phone forwarding), rubber cars (if all cars were covered in bouncy rubber, then insurance should be REALLY cheap).
