Nag.me
This one should be a business… one that offers a web service/software app which is all about the opposite of “remind me.” So the nag.me system would allow you to enter websites, search terms, time amounts, times of day, etc. which trigger the system to hit you with a pop-up or warning asking “are you…

Path of Least Resistance
You’re at work and you’re trying to locate someone. They’re not at their desk and you’ve asked the cubicle next to them to no avail. What do you do?

Virtual Reality
Why is virtual reality so unreal? Why are people escaping to online worlds which are never anything like the real world? Virtual reality should be along the lines of real life, no?
