Whacky technology innovations for Chennai

The nerds from the valley keeps coming out of newer and whackier gizmos every year. Most of them dont make sense to Namma makkal. Here is my take on technology innovations thats most needed for Tamilnadu and Chennai in particular

- Oven fitted with TV: Runs on thermal energy. Ideal for Housewives who can cook and watch mega serials at the same time. This releases time for men to watch sports and News in the drawing room. Whats more, we can save the cost of Salt, as the ladies can directly cry into the utensils.

- Fragrance plugs: put it in your nose. it keeps shedding good fragrance. Useful when you drive or walk beside Koovam or Buckingham canal

- Fare checker : A plug-in software for Watches/Mobile phones/PDAs. Turn it on while you get into the Auto. When you get down, it will tell you the exact fare. Not that the autodriver will accept the fare. But atleast you know how much you have been cheated.

- Horn netralizer : fitted to the rear of cars.While you are stuck in a traffic jam, if the fellow behind you keeps honking.. just click the button, it will disable his horn.

- Pothole warning system : gives out a warning when there is a pothole ahead - very useful especially when the whole road is filled with water - can fit it to Cars /Bikes / Shoes - works on ultrasound technology

- Petrol purifier: a small ring like fitting that you fix it at the opening of your petrol tank. will let only pure petrol inside. If the petrol was adulterated, it will filter the petrol in and spit the other stuff out. Will also tell you the quantity of petrol that actually got in.

- Sticky railings : The railings used as Median at important roads will have adhesive surface. When people try to jump over it, their hand will stick on to the surface. The same tecnology will also be used for the crossbars at the railway crossings.

- biting microphones : used in public meetings. fitted with a timer. If the speaker crosses the time limit, the mic will pounce and bite the speaker.

- Automatic music composer: effective tool for the film industry. Automatically downloads hit international songs, indianizes the tune and beats. It also writes lyrics by combining many meaningless words with a few english words and delivers a 'tamil' song. The sound output can be set to resemble the voices of many famous singers like udit narayan and Theni Kunjarama.

- Maidha maavu in multiple flavours - here is one for animal welfare. The Pasai (adhesive) used for poster will come in multiple flavour. This will keep the Cows very happy. The flavours can include Grass, Straw, Thavidu, punnakku etc.,

- two dimensional busses - Usually buses are shaped like a cuboid with windows on both sides and doors on one side. This causes lot of traffic problems as they are too bulky. Hence a bus in the shape of a square . It just has holes as windows with bars in between.two wheels at the bottom It runs on a autopilot mode, So there is no need for a driver seat. The bus is meant for college students So there is no need for passenger seats. They just hang on both sides of the windows. Imagine how much of space will be saved.

You can find the latest 'Automatic Music Composer' at Deva's house. Although a far better model is rumoured to exist at Anu Malik's house
