SAN JOSE – I wish an engineer would develop a mobile force field. You could carry it in your pocket like a key fob, press a button and an impenetrable shield forms around your body.
It should cost just a couple dollars so everyone could have one. I would give one to all the people I love.
I wish an engineer could develop heart X-ray glasses, like
Google Glasses for emotions. They let you see into the feelings of the people around you, so you know if they are hurting and need help.
I’d like to see a movie, full of amazing effects, about how people use these inventions and others to end violence. The story could be full of bravery, people learning how to stand up to their full potential and wonderful images that capture my imagination.
There would be no need for explosions or shattered glass.
There could be a loving man named Alfred who mentors and parents a handsome man named Bruce. There could be a love story. There could be moments of great excitement and acrobatics combined with music—like the moments I love in
Cirque du Soleil.
There are so many things we can build. There are so many stories we can tell ourselves.
What would you like to build? What story do you want to tell?
