My idea

i had an idea for an invention recently that i'm going to share with you. before i do that though, i'd like to make a few comments. now don't just skip to the bottom of the page so you can see what the invention is, either. you may be asking yourself, "jon, why are you sharing your invention idea with us? shouldn't you save it for yourself and make millions of dollars off of it?" the answer is... well i'll tell you after the invention idea:

THE IDEA: a lightbulb that can also be used as a telephone

ok, that's not the idea, i just wanted to throw off anyone that skipped over my comments to the invention idea. SHAME ON YOU. really, the invention is this: taillights that are pressure sensitive. Meaning, right now, when you hit the brakes, it's either red for "brakes being applied" or, uh.... not on for "brakes not being applied". but when you're going really fast, say on the interstate, and someone in front of you hits the brakes, it's hard to tell if they SLAMMED on the brakes, or they just lightly tapped them. i think it would be a good idea if lightly tapping would result in kind of a pinkish hue (i love the word "hue") and slamming on the brakes would be like blood red. i guess i could have picked a different red than "blood red". oh well. so anyway, there would be a whole spectrum of red, depending on how hard you hit the brakes.

now the reason i'm not keeping this to myself is because a.) i have a feeling someone has already had this idea. if you think about how primitive the braking system we have is, it seems like someone would think of that.... and b.) do you really think the Ford Motor Company is going to listen to my suggestion, then pay me for said idea? Hell no. this is more of a prediction than anything else. i have one other cool idea for an invention, but that one i may actually try to use.
