Not to sound rude, but Ken sounds like he's looking for creative little ideas that you have had, not great inventions other people have made. Not to pick on anyone, just thought I'd point it out. Again, dont mean to sound rude.

Great topic Ken!

Here's my story. When you get to college, save cardboard, it comes in handy. Why? It's somewhat sturdy, bendable, easy to cut, and you probably wont have much money anyways being a college student. Last year I made drawer dividers out of cut up cardboard from a Lucky Charms box. In 3 ring binders they have those plastic things in the back, to keep the paper from getting crumpled under the rings, well, those new 12-can fridge packs that soda cans come in are great for making more of those is your binder didnt come with one. Cereal boxes also work as dividers in your binders and can make great printer trays if your's breaks or isnt big enough.

Re: Simple things that have made your life better or easier

I dont mean to limit this thread to things people on CD have personally invented - Im looking more for creative insight and un-expected discoverys

for example, I didnt invent contact lenses, and I never really thought about getting them till I started working at my present job, designing electronics for video eyewear. I got them because its easier to wear head-mounted displays without glasses. But I was really suprized how much better life is without glasses (all the time). I wasnt expected that.
