Ten things they haven't come up with yet
20th October 2008
We've been pondering what innovations the future may bring for disabled people - or rather it innovations they should bring, in our humble opinion. So we probably need to apologise for showing a certain level of personal interest in this top ten. Oops.
- Dolphin timeshare.
- Prosthetic limb with embedded MP3 player. (Can we call it an iLeg, or are there copyright restrictions?)
- Sparky: the genetically modified half-human / half-monkey facilitator slave.
- Surgically embedded hazard warning lights for those scary horizontal pavement moments.
- A free Tazer with every blue badge.
- Frozac: antidepressant on a stick
- Wipe-clean 'no sex here' signs in accessible loos.
- benefitsbingo.com.
- Pain share trading scheme.
- A fully accessible transport system.

They all sound like great ideas, and I can see them all happening in the near future. Well, not number 10, that'd just be hoping for a miracle!
