There is one major unknown in the universe that has not been solved. The person who makes that discovery will be the most important person of the 21st century, and will cause a revolution beyond any we have yet seen. What is that discovery, and how will it be made?

as a youngster in the 1940's and early 50's...i often left the ranch and stayed with my grandma in tuttle, oklahoma. outdoor plumbing, well, garden, chickens, et al, were norm for her...i remember when she got electricity and a refrigerator and tv...she loved the arthur godfrey show. prior to that she kept perishables at a rented freezer in town. sometime after that, one of my uncles put a pump on the well and piped water to the kitchen. the outhouse remained.

one day one of my aunts asked her which of life's conveniences she liked best (thinking it was the tv)...her response "running water in the house".

i like to remember that....people buy what makes their life easy or saves them money (is that the same thing?). that works in business and at home. nice to have stuff is the first thing americans quit buying in a sour economy. but things that make life easy are always welcome.

if your invention makes life easier i'll get right to work on it.
