They say “Necessity is the Mother of Invention”. I don’t know who “they” are.

I wish this were true. I currently require a machine which will take, as its input, workloads and deadlines and convert these things into delicious, chewy candy which can be consumed at a leisurely rate. This candy would be all the colours of the rainbow and taste of laughter.

Yes, it’s a bit of a stretch, but I can dream, can’t I? Most inventions are realised in dreams, although I haven’t had a dream recently involving the aforementioned Deadline/Candy Converter. I fear that is just too implausible. I did dream last night of a contraption that could agitate clouds in such a way as to make them mew softly in the sky, and produce lavender raindrops. I also dreamt of a invention that, when activated, would cause all the electronic devices in the world to become sentient, and capable of love. These devices would then go on to make their owners lives more fruitful and better for it.

I’ve been dreaming of better worlds. I doubt those dreams will come true.
