I heard some complaints about kids being glued to their digital media during road trips and missing out on the "that's the way we used to do it"-type scenery watching etc. So how about an app that makes a giant I spy game based on images on google maps? As you're driving, it will tell you what to look out for. Kids can vote up and down the images to keep the good ones at the top. They can also take pictures while they go along to add to the game.
Have you ever been in a speech or something where the speaker fields questions from the audience? If you weren't in a UN-style microphone-at-every-seat equipped room, then you probably saw one or two saps running the microphone around to those asking questions. I was this sap recently in a press conference, and although I consider myself quite agile, it still delayed things and was noisy for the cameras (not to mention my beautimous profile when I had to run in front of them). I've also heard people bragging about shot-gun mics that can pick up someone's voice leagues away. Couldn't these work in this situation, where the sap can just stand at the front with headphones on and point the mic at whoever is talking? Maybe it wouldn't work so well in a football stadium, but surely a 20-person press conference could manage. Right?
