*MY RESPONSE IS TO THE FIRST 4 ITEMS IN THE FIRST VIDEO*
Many of these videos hold spectacular ideas for the future, that might even continue to WOW future generations. Some might find it hard to believe how clever these inventions might be. Others, might ponder that these are useless, or not needed. In this response, I will give you reasons why four of the items in this first video, have both pros and cons.
The first item in the video are traffic gloves for bikers. In the video, it shows how you wear them on your hand, and they can help you signal which way you are turning, to people in front or behind you. Some pros of this item are that it can cause traffic to work more efficiently. This can lead to less accidents on the road, which is better for humanity and animals. This is because there will be less deaths. One con for this, is that it might not be very comfy for bike riders, and not very practical. Imagine you are going on a calming, rustic bike ride. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be wearing futuristic gloves in that moment, not even mentioning that they could be extremely tight and warm, which nobody wants their hands to be like on a cool summer day. Those are some pros and cons for the first item in the video.
The second item is an Airbar. It is meant to be put on a laptop, or computer, and the device will instantly be touchscreen. Some pros of this are that it is a cheaper option compared to buying a whole other iPad with a keyboard. It can also be more efficient for many situations such as cooking, or others that are demonstrated in the video. You can use it to scroll and click on things, with just the touch of a finger. But, this also has a few cons. One of them being, people who use this at an early age, which could be the future generations, would not be trained to type properly. Typing is a useful skill, and it's a lot more professional, which concerns more and more people every day. With this invention, many people in the future might not have the benefit of the ability to type. Those are some pros and cons of the second item in this video.
The third item are some fun-looking "skates." They are put on the feet, like any other type of shoes, and can be used to move around as though you would on a roller skate. A few pros of this are that it is a quicker, easier, and more fun way of transportation, or more specifically, walking. This can lift anyones day very easily, and mindset is a very important part of a person. It also makes getting around quicker, so people get ore things done on a daily basis, and are less late, which is always a plus. The cons of this are similar to those of the second item, the Airbar. If these are used at an early age, which is most likely for future generations, children might lack a correct knowledge, physical ability, of how to walk. This is obviously considering that they're still very young, and just learning how to move on their own. Those are some pros and cons for the third item in the video.
The fourth item in the video, and last I will be talking about, is the collapsible water bottle. It is a normal water bottle other than the fact that it is collapsible and can fit easily into tight spaces. some of the pros of this are that it can be stored better and could potentially save a life. Say you were collecting items for a survival kit. The items hav to be small, but useful. Humans need water to survive, but normal water bottles can be large and bulky. If you purchased this item, it could provide you water in a survival kit, if you ever got lost hiking in the desert. One of the cons of this, is that because of the silicon material it is made out of, if water is stored in there too long, it might become warm, and not suitable for drinking. This means that this item has the potential of hurting, and helping you, so it is a pretty risky decision wether you should make your whole life depend on this single item. Those are some pros and cons of the fourth item in the video.
In all, not every single idea, or invention, is perfect. They are all created with some degree of trial and error, and the perfect thing, just doesn't exist. As much as we'd like to create the dream items for the future generations to enjoy, we can't always do that. There will always be pros and cons to pave our path.
