bright idea's

I remember back when I was a young kid, playing with magnets for the first time. Wow, I just made that other magnet move without even touching it! I thought of the possibility of using that same principle on some kind of transportation, most likely a train...

Over the course of your life, you'll come up with plenty of ideas, some very bright, some as good as a 'Jump to conclusions mat'... The reality is, that you are not the only one who has thought of the idea. Someone is working on possibily proving that concept, or bringing that idea to market already. So, occasionally you find yourself annoyed by some things you do often and think to yourself there has to be a better way. An example of this is 'Wireless Power', almost everyone has been annoyed by the fact of modern life that our devices need to always be recharged. Half the problem is our battery technologies, while the other half is the charging process... One idea is to have a universal way of charging devices, as simple as placing your devices on a 'charging area' another is a recently researched idea of using physics and electromagnetic principles to wirelessly charge devices within a proximity.

So when a bright idea hits you, what do you usually do about it? Keep it to yourself? Find out if it exists? Share the idea with others who may like it? Wait until someone else brings it to market? Or get your hands dirty, bring the right people together, and go for it....
