Everyday concepts the internet made us aware of

The internet is a wonderful thing, it's given birth to millions of ideas some of them inhabit our lives everyday, sometimes for right or wrong reasons, so it can be quite tricky to lose sight of them all. I love seeing new and interesting concepts that people have created to help make our lives easier, I think I'm slowing becoming addicted to them. So this is the ideal post for me to get you thinking (or least looking at a few of these and going, oh isn't that clever) for a Friday.

Phonebloks
I seen this and immediately wished it was a reality. The concept is that you have a base for a phone and you build it, like Lego, the phone that best suits your lifestyle. My brief description doesn't do it justice, give this little video a watch and you will wish they made these for real.





Ring Watch
You have jewellery? You have watch? Why not combine the two? These rings are wonderfully well designed and come in Tron-esque colours, yellow and blue. They look like, his and hers rings but still an interesting way of putting together your hand accessories.





Self Cleaning T-Shirt
This one started life as just a concept on kickstarter and could heading our way very soon. Looking for only $20,000 to get going, this concept gained so much momentum that it raised nearly $300,000. Dubbed the Silic, it gets its name from the billions of silica particles that layer the fabric. Even when wearing a Silic t-shirt while working up a sweat, this liquid will evaporate into the air instead of into the fabric. So if your clumsy like me and spill your tea a fair bit, keep you eye out for this. It could be the answer your looking for.





Rapid Packing Container
Last but certainly not least, we have two students Henry Wang and Chris Curro showing us how the future of packaging could look like. Designing a more efficient box that uses 15 - 20 % less cardboard and is ergonomically better to open and pack. This could just be arriving at your door one day.




That was just a couple of ideas to get the ball rolling in your mind. I haven't been blessed with coming up with one yet. But doesn't mean I never will, watch this space it might happen...or not.
