The Modern Dating Club
Why?
To help people find each other romantically by using the best of both worlds, offline and online.
How?
First, online. People sign up and fill their profile details.
Second, offline. People go to an event at the dating club. It’s like any other bar or club, with drinks, a dance floor, love entertainment, etc. Only people who registered online can enter the event, and each gets a badge with a number to stick on their chest (similar to what you get at a convention.) When you are there, you try to enjoy yourself, look around until you see someone you like.
Finally, both offline and online working together: you then open the app and type in their number, check their profile, and if you are interested you “poke” them. They get an alert and can check your profile, and if they are also interested they “poke” you back. If that happens, you can look for each other in the crowd (or the app will tell you both where to go to meet each other – you already know how the other one looks) and take it from there. If not you just continue having fun until you see someone new you like and repeat the procedure.

Smart House Drone
Why?
A drone that knows how to go around the house and stream a video feed can be useful. For instance, you can check if you left your keys at home, or see if the stove was not left on, it can alert you if there is an intruder, etc.
How?
A drone that can navigate the house (using the visuals it analyzes from the video cam, the map in its memory, etc.) Anytime you can remotely activate it and tell it to go somewhere in the house and show you what’s there. It can also be programmed to react to certain events, like sound, motion, external input (alarm system), etc., and alert you when the conditions you requested are met. You can also program it to do “the rounds” from time to time as an extra security measure, and alert you when something is out of order (like a change in the what it sees compared to last time. When not active it can land on its charging mat to recharge.

Audio Enhanced Book
Why?
As an additional experience enhancement.
How?
The ebook reading device tracks the reader’s behavior (pauses, eye, and head movement, etc.), and when deems it appropriate based on the reader’s behavior, plays short audios (music, narration with additional thoughts or information about what he just read, sound effects, etc.)

Algorithms for Humans
Why?
If you can program a machine why not yourself?
How?
Publish human oriented algorithms. Each one should have a definite and measurable goal, clear steps, and produce the desired goal when followed. Only publish algorithms that qualify according to these rules. Each step can and should have a small explanation of why it’s included, and can also link to a more elaborate explanation.
