The invention that interested me the most was the jet pack, because I think it would be pretty cool to be able to fly. If I could invent something, I would invent a machine that playes video games and you could be in the game because that would be really interesting to try.

The jetpack to me was the most intresting thing to me on there because it was this huge thing on the jetpack and the jetpack would still lift you. If i could invent something it would be were you would have a floting mini car to get around your house so you dont have to walk around plus you also could take it out side.

I thought the most interesting invention in the video was the boat made out of bottles. I would invent a machine were you can see if people are lying or not. It would be very usefull.

My Favorite Invention was the Look-see because it would give someone a better recorder camera so they don’t have to carry one around. I would event a faster transportation somehow instead of like a car stuck in traffic you could have a faster transportation.

The jet pack to me was the coolest invention. This was huge, and it would be cool if it was a little smaller. If I could invent something it would be a pare of swim team goggles that would tell you how far away your apponent was from you.

The thing that interested me the most was get pack that could stay in the air for 30 minites. I think it is really cool beacuse I have always wanted to see and use one. I would invent a time machine because you could go back in time and stop 911 and many more things like Pearl Harbor.

1.THe invenchin that interested me the most was the jet pack becuase it just looked realy cool and I think that it would be realy fun to have one so I could just fly to school.2.If I could invent enything I would invent a car that you can drive on the road. When you wanted to go to sleep becuase you couldent stay awake you could just go on the side of the road or any other terain exept for water. When you press a special button the whole car transforms into a full size house. thats what I would invent.

I think that the incubator was the best invention ever made. If you had a child that was to small to survive then you cold plce the child into the incubator and save his or her life.If I were to invent something I whold invent the cookenater 3000. It could cook for you when you are cooking for a relly big party.It could give you a hellping hand when you are cooking.It also can cook a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.mmmmmmm.

The thing I was impressed with was the Jetpack and the Loxies because they were awesome and cool. Whoever invented these two things must have been very smart like Benjamin Franklin. Also, if I could invent something I'd make a cool flying house. This way if you have to move to a new place you would not have to leave your house behind.

The invention that was shown on the video is the lookcei, because you can remember fun moments and it wiil help poeple in the future. If I could invent something I would invent a jetpack for under water.

Evan said...

I think the most interesting invention is the super glue putty. I think this is a good invention because you can protect things with it. Another reason why I think this is a good invention is you can stick it to anything.If I were to invent somthing.I would make a machine that could make you breakfast every morning.

The invention that was most interesting to me was the bus that can carry 1,000 people at a time and can fit cars underneath it. It was made in China. It would be cool if it was a hot day and could pull up underneath the bus and be in the shade. If it was in the winter, you could pull up underneath the bus and have hot air blowing on you. I would invent a laughing machine that you walked by and you would have to scan your finger and it would give a different joke to every different person .it would be funny to that person because it would have scanned there personality.

I think the most interesting invention is the looxcie because it is a portable camera that sees everything you see. All it does is hook on your ear and you can press a simple button to put it on your face book! That would be amazing if you saw some saw some wildlife like my dad did. He saw a deer when he was running. If I could invent something I would invent an automatic fish feeder. This invention would help by not having to worry about the fish. You won’t need to waste your money and buy a new one. This is my opinion.

J. Craig Venter made me most impressed with what he invented “life by scratch”. If I were an inventor I would most likely invent a new car that would called the VM its short for Viper Mustang. It’ll look like a viper and mustang combined. It’ll probably be in these colors Red and black, Purple and black, Yellow and black, Blue and black, and white and black.

My favorite thing was the straddling bus. It was the coolest because it will be a big solution to the world’s traffic problem. If I could invent a something, I would invent a machine that will wake you up in the morning and make you breakfast.

This is what I would say to you if you asked me “what new invention I like” and “if I was an inventor what would I build”.
My favorite invention is the LOOXCIE which is a hand free camera! Cool right?
If I could invent anything I would invent a floating cell!!!
Thanks so much for reading!!!!!!
