There are two things I would invent if I could. First, as cheesy as it sounds, a time machine. I would not use this to go back in time and change things. I would use it to go back for shorts amounts of times to get different experiences in particular situations in the past. I think it would be so cool to go back to the ’80s just for the experience. Not only for fun but also for learning. I think it is good for everyone to have experienced different parts of the world and in different situations. I would go back to WWII and the great depression (as terrible as they both were) so I could experience the hard times, even just for a few days, and learn from it. I would have a different perspective on the world after having that experience.

Invention: "Stay Away Fiends!"

We are all aware that the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing citizens around the globe to remain at a recommended CDC-approved, six-foot safe distance from each other.

Well, how about this? A “social distancing” app on your phone that alerts the user when they are less than six feet from an impending vector! The alarm rings to a sweet tune of the user’s choice or a classic and dreadful alarm clock sound -- either way it will alert the user to STAY AWAY from any potential threats.

It would be easy access, free on the app store for iOS and Android. You can easily buy new ringtones through in-app purchases. In-app purchases work to make your life easier by allowing you to buy a new ringtone without the need to leave the "Stay Away Fiends!" app. When the user buys a new ringtone it will let people know that he or she is a VIP/Premium member of “Stay Away Fiends!”

What I Would Make.

Sometimes I wonder why humans can't make inventions to fix everyday lives. Like an invention to stop the glaciers from melting or to suck some of the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. How would these inventions change the world? Would they come with a huge side effect like in movies? Or would they just do their job perfectly and resolve world problems?

My Invention

Something that I am really passionate about are animals. So if I had to invent something it would be a machine that would make animals talk so then people could talk to animals/pets. Also it would be handy if your pet was sick and the vet could just ask the pet or animal were it doesn't feel good or were it hurts. I think it would just be nice and cool to talk to an animal and see what they would like to talk about.

My Invention

If I could make an invention it would be called the "Clean-a-room-anator" and it would clean your room every night and help you break those habits ofmessing up your room. I for one really need it... how about you?

My Invention

I have a problem. I spend way too long in the morning and at night getting ready. I mean brushing my teeth and washing my face. It just takes too long! When flossing, teeth brushing, mouth-washing, and showering come together, they form a daunting task that can take upwards of fifteen minutes. Half of half of an hour that could be spent doing something productive, like writing for the young writers project. Fortunately I have a solution. I propose an invention that would allow someone to floss, brush their teeth, wash their mouth and face, and shower almost simultaneously.

The Invention

THE INVENTION
Hello readers. My named is Aidan Davis and today I'm going to tell you what is the worst invention ever built. Its called slinkies and I am going to show you my evidence that it stinks. It all started in 3rd grade. I had a small job in the classroom to earn fake money. I bought a slinky and took it back home. Once I got home I started to play with it. Then it got tangled up. I tried to fix it but it couldn't be fixed. So after that day I saved all my money again and I bought another one. Then I played with it but it got tangled up again! I’m telling you folks that slinkies are the worst invention because they get tangled up a lot. Do you agree with me that they are the worst invention? Please let me know if you think or not. I hope you don’t waste your money on slinkies. Thank you for your time.

Why

One thing I wish was never invented is alcohol. Alcohol is a bottle of poison. A lot of people that drink too much alcohol will vomit. That is how our bodies get poison out of us. In my opinion, alcohol was a dumb invention.
My sister and mom don’t drink alcohol because they know how bad it is for their body. It can make you have pancreatitis too, and that won’t be fun. When I get older I will probably never drink alcohol. I wouldn’t want to put chemicals into my body. I believe that alcohol is just another word for poison. I hope they ban alcohol in Vermont. We don’t need it for any reason. It’s not like it will cure cancer. It’s not some type of medicine. It’s won’t make you healthier, it won’t help you lose weight in a healthy way.

Invention

An invention is..
A creative thought made possible.

Inventions will either help,
Or hurt society.

The hurt would be things like..
Telephones.

An easy way of communication,
Yet lacking a knowledge of tone.

Due to phones,
Humans have progressively become..
Distant.

Falling in love with texts,
Instead of a human.

Using apps like skype,
To fill the void..
A replacement of physical contact.

Eye contact only occurring via snapchat,
And happiness based on instagram likes.

Societies will grow distant,
And the unity ancestors strived for,
Will be torn apart by telephones.

The worst invention for humans,
Is used daily by most of our population.
