30 years ago my brother made a swiffer wet jet for a science project. The teacher told him what a great idea it was and they should see about marketing it. I guess he and my parents sort of shrugged it off. Oh well.

Doodad that would hook up to your breaker box and tell you exactly how much every single device on your house was costing in electricity.

Apparently smarter people than me figured it out.

Aqua tread tire
Before the nest came out, I always wanted a remote control for the thermostat for cold mornings. Increase the heat before getting out of bed.

Cereal Milk.

You know the flavored milk that is left after eating cereal? That was the best part as a kid and could you imagine them selling it in cartons. Frosted Flake Milk, Cinnamon toast crunch milk, apple jacks milk, Oreo O's milk, cookie crisp milk, etc.

Twitter. My vision wasn't as wide as theirs though. I envisioned an interest based short message service where verified users could report on actual news in real time to the rest of the world. I never thought about the mindless celebrity and narcissist aspect of it.

This is true of the internet in general. My dad always talks about how the first time he used the internet he thought that it was going to revolutionize society. The instant free exchange of information and ideas. He didn't account for all the stupid.

Pay to charge stations in bars. It's still a very small market.
