Expanding on AuntBlabby's inventions: Extract solo blues artists from the old field recordings and place them in Carnegie Hall backed by a chamber orchestra or rock band. The purists would tear me a new one for that but it'd be interesting to hear the old blues pioneers in different contexts.

something akin to that is being done, has been done for the last decade or so using advanced DSP algorithms, and is now in commercial products for everybody to use. one such product is ADX Trax Stems which soon is coming out for PC, has been a Mac product for about a year or so. the term for the process is "spectral source subtraction."

In the Nineties/early 2000's they made a top ten hit by electronically arranging Natalie Cole to sing a "duet" with her long deceased father Nat King Cole with the song "Unforgettable".

i have that CD. before that by a few years, they crudely dubbed a 78 rpm record of hank williams Sr. singing "there's a tear in my beer" along with Hank II.

I love the Hanks.

Genetically engineered whales that can eat plastic the way existing whales eat plankton: equipped like existing baleen whales with feed filters instead of teeth (like blue, fin, humpback, and right, whales), but with stomach enzymes that can break down plastic. They could scoop up the bits of plastic debris in the oceans, and recycle it back into the environment.

My algorithm machine/device idea that shows and predicts emotional/conscious frequencies for intensive care mental hospitals, to create less direct and verbal disturbance between staff and patient and so the patients can leave quicker.

Though I fear the day technology takes over the world and replaces humans with robots, so maybe not.

Why would I want a noiseless chainsaw? That would remove like at least a third of the fun.

As someone who is sight-impaired, I would much rather a way to have normal sight.

A medication or whatever that you can take and it makes you instantly not tired at all and not need sleep. Caffeine doesn't make you not need sleep.
