I like visiting Yanko. It makes me feel like there are people out there still trying to make our lives better. Here are a few designs that I never got around to linking to, but they are damn cool.
In no particular order of coolness, I start with the kitchen uni-tool. A few of it's uses:
Next up is the folding keystick, which I certainly wish I had when I was on the road a lot.
Another really cool idea that hits home with me is the digital newspaper. Yeah, I'm all about books, but news on the go has increasingly been an issue. This would help out I think.
I'm not sure if the next idea would be plausible or not, but the concept of a cheap, quick water filter is a real need in this world.
Another cool innovation is a cheap disposable laptop.
This map on the go concept is something everyone needs. Though, frankly, people need to learn how to read a damn map first.
I saved what might be the best for last. It is a red light with a timer so you know how much longer you have to wait.
If you can't see the need for this, you are lucky not to drive in heavy traffic. Somebody really needs to make this. Now.
