Mr. Jones Watches
From owning my own time-piece, I know the many uses and how handy it can be at knowing the time and date from just the flick of my wrist. Mr. Jone's watches tell you the time and more! There's a lie detector watch, a humility watch, personality watches all for the sole purpose of bettering oneself and those around them.
What I found interesting about these interesting watches was that instead of improving the wearers image it could actually make them seem worse, which forces them to be more honest with those around them. The best watch to do this would be the lie detector watch, which says 'LIE' whenever the wearer is untruthful, which is useful during poker I imagine. These are the kinds of time pieces I would imagine people from a dystopian society would like to were.
Perpetual Storytelling Machine
This cool device reads any story and produces pictures detailing the story. What I found interesting about this device is the power of creativity that you have when using this is quite vast. Any story can be put to life and told through the patent pictures drawn by this machine. In some ways this machine is very intelligent that it can scan through the patent database and choose the picture that best fits the story.
Saving Myself
In this contraption, a bonsai tree is in a controlled environment using a machine and a UV light. They manually control the weather and they take pictures of the tree and these pictures are inserted inside the rings of the tree, so that it can only be seen when it has been cut down. In a way its quite poetic how the tree has pictures of itself inside to remind it of what it used to look like, which is a very human thing to do. I can see this technology benefiting plant or botany research in perhaps in cataloging plants or endangered species.
