Now, Where Did I Put That Idea?


I’ve always thought I could be a multi-bazillionaire if I had the wherewithal to turn some of my random musings into technological reality. I have really good ideas I think. Like the time I thought that cell phones should be able to read texts to you so you won’t be distracted while driving. About a year or two after I thought of it, some phone company started marketing a phone that does that.

My latest brilliant idea came last night while I was struggling with auto-correct while texting. Frequently while composing texts, auto-correct either gets it wrong or completely ignores the obvious correction and keeps it wrong. That’s when it came to me: someone should come up with a way to put spoken words into texts. Great idea, right?

Then I realized the telephone was invented in the 1800s and that having an actual conversation is the same or better than speaking into text mode.

Yeah. Apparently, I’m not an “idea” person.
