You know what sucks, commuting. I need go go out of the house into the cold, heat up my car, drive through traffic, find a place to park. This is obviously bad for the environment, and heck, it's almost 2010! Why are we still living with a broken 1930's solution?

So, despite the issues involved with bringing a total new commuting paradigm to market, let's look at what a perfect commuting workflow would like like. First, I'd have a box in my house that I'd step in. Then, using a combination of specialized nanobots and nuclear energy, I'd be transported directly to a compartment in my office.

Of course you could poke a hundred different holes in this plan, but if some random nobody like me can crank out an idea like that in a few minutes, just imagine what kind of real progress we could make if some of the world's smartest engineers and entrepreneurs got to work on this?
