This would make my life easier...

Think back on the last decade or so; think about how far technology has come. Portable DVD players and digital cameras were becoming popular. Today, we get both features in our cell phone!

I’m sure I don’t speak for myself when I say that I’ve taken a lot of these technological advances for granted over the last few years. For example, my iPhone!

With my iPhone, I can FaceTime all of my loved ones and relatives in a real-time way from anywhere in the world at any time. A few friends and I were recently recalling standing in line in college during the ‘80s to use the payphone! Can you imagine having to schedule a weekly call to your home from a payphone, instead of picking up your personal cell phone from anywhere and just tapping the screen?

I remember using FedEx for the first time and thinking it was insane that it could be sent over night. Today, we can “Zip” a document and send it anywhere in the world immediately. 

Ok, here is my point.

All this chat about technology got me to thinking: If I could invent anything to make my life a little bit easier, what would it be?

I think the one invention I could really use would be some sort of transportation magic that would allow me to either be in multiple places at the same time or travel quickly. You know, sort of a "Bewitched" wiggle of my nose and POOF I’ve gone from Egg Harbor to Clifton at the blink of an eye.

Another thing I thought of was to clone myself! Some days there is just SO much to do that I could really use another one of me. Could you imagine my shoecloset if that were possible?

If you could invent any one thing to make your work or personal life easier or more efficient, what would it be?

Voice recognition software that would document objective data in real time so that we would still have both hands free to treat kids in the therapy gym! :)

Time travel...so I can have a "do-over" once in a while.
