The Golden Rule: alternatively, - do unto others as you would have done unto you. - don't do to others as you wouldn't have done to you. is a good start. but any despot looking for tall soldiers would probably suggest the golden rule of, - 'whatever test you may pass, you may dispense.' (at the expense of the tax payers...)

Well, so many things are dangerous... Analytical skills is important, but I think more than half of the world still willing to do violence without clear logic... Namely for their country, for their religion, etc etc Quote: Our life is frittered away by details... Simplicity... Simplicity...

There's some similar product out there but they seem to have made it the best:

It's bad that I don't remember whose ideas these are, but basicly...

Recession is bad. Many people and business suffer. Etc.

But this is not only a bad thing since recession purifies the economic landscape. It exists to destroy business ideas which do not work or are not really needed.

Recession should be seen as an opportunity to put more shots on renewables, economic sustainability and efficiency. It should also be a point where the laws of the economy are readjusted so that there will be no recession for the same reasons again.

Humanity develops through dialectic - trial and error. Then again, it is a different question whether this is now going on or not.

Innovator > Synopsis > Re-focus
Here is the current synopsis for the production. We are working on it. Please share your thoughts. INNOVATOR A television reality show format development Factual entertainment / Family / Interactive content / Multiplatform A new TV show designed to make your life better one problem at a time. We can prove that Innovations are inspiring, down to earth and make a great entertainment. What happens if you put together a group of specialists – marketing manager, designer, engineering student, senior citizen and a house wife – and let them plan the ultimate retail store? Can they solve all the problems of shopping? Or what if another type of a group gets to design a revolutionary public transportation system for the future? The Innovator show, not only brigs out the common difficulties of our lives, but also creates fresh ideas and solutions on how to improve things – and execute them! How about a TV show that encourages people to improve their every day life and inspires to think about innovations as keys to our problems? We want to show in practice that great ideas inspire everyone and have a positive influence in our lives. As a team anyone can make a difference.

It's good to take the "real people" along to make the program more approachable.

The problem about "the ultimate shop" for example is that it really cannot so easily be made better than it already is. The format might fall over it's own ambition.

I think it would be good enough if this was made from a more journalistic point of view with a problem -> solution narrative. This seems to be you're idea as it is.

You should first interview the housewife on a problem pre-known to you and then head on to find out what kind of solutions already exist or are coming in the near future to counter the problem.

I think, that the present idea relies too much on the idea that innovations are easy to produce and brainstorming always works. This might prove to be a problem in production and can be easily be avoided if you do not rely on this too much.

You could still make the big breakthrough in the end, where the Innovation is applied in example in an actual hypermarket (if that's where it fits).

______________________________________________________________________
Also

It disrupts me that I don't really know what you're doing with the ideas you're collecting here. Some kind of a tv program, but is it only an early idea or is there real money involved already? Is it just being planned or is a pilot sure to be produced?

This lack of information is especially bad because this is an All rights reserved. production. I myself for example am afraid of letting go of the products of my medium-size, basic Finn intellect.

Rights of the Innovators might similarly turn out to be a problem which one should think through.

Innovator > How could we design and actualize a car-free city? > Daily itienary travel planner
Passenger cars are means of transport, but at they are also extensions to our personality. At the same time cars are one of the biggest polluters.

I'm innovating an upgraded version of the travel planner already used for example in Helsinki (http://www.reittiopas.fi/fi/).

Most people know where they're going to go during the day and with how many other people.

In the new Whole Day Travel Planner you could input your rough planned itienary, and the program would calculate the best ways of doing it with different alternative ways of transportation - and calculate it's cost.

You could include estimated times to find parking, expected trafic jams, gasoline (and public transportation) costs and carbon footprint. This data is available, just needs to be collected and integrated.

I'm sure in most cases, the car would end up being just slightly faster, but way more expensive and unecological.

Oversimplification is dangerous. I would rather see a spreading of analytical skills. Make people realize that thinking for themselves isn't the same thing as holding to a unique point of view.

Innovator > Dreams can come true > Devices that exploit nanotechnology and quantum physics
by: Eetu Tauriainen

I watched this document The Quantum Revolution. http://freedocumentaries.net/media/221/The_Quantum_Revolution/ There was some Japanese scientist showing how to achieve the anti gravity field, for example. This brings us to the flying cars, invisibility cloth and other science fiction stuff what is coming in next 20 years. nice!

I'm very interested in nanotechnology applications to human body and other "cyborg"-things. For example muscle enhancing applications, applications that make handicapped people capable ( for example to walk ) again and nano-microchips which could be laid in human body.
