Therefore, from a purely econimic benefit point of view, here is what it is worth on an hourly basis to pick up the following coins:
1 penny = $36.00 per hour
1 nickel = $180.00 per hour
1 dime = $360.00 per hour
1 quarter = $900.00 per hour
Think about that next time you see something silver on the ground.
·Autopilot for cars
·An efficiency mode for cruise control. Rather than maintaining a certain speed, you would enter minimum & maximum speeds and the car would figure out how to get you to your destination within those ranges – factoring in the terrain – most efficiently. This would be especially nice if coupled with autopilot.
·“Smart” keys integrated with your cell phone. Your phone is your car key.
·Credit card functionality built into a smart phone. Pay with your phone. I think they already do this in Japan.
·A “smart” credit card that combined all your accounts into one card: you pick at time of payment which card to charge
