      Re-invent the wheel, because that is the ultimate invention! And then I could be the only person to use that saying 🙂

      Great one. I would probably re-invent the car. It could be much more efficient, especially the improvements we have now. Why is that engine always at the back, for example? Why is the wheel to one side only? Some of the things we take for granted about cars could really be changed, but because we’re so used to them, it seems normal. But what IS normal!?
      And now with electric cars, we might not even need a normal engine. The problem is, when you change something so much, people are suspicious and might not like it. So, small changes are usually better over a long period.

      This is a tough one! It would be great to re-invent society. I always find difficult to understand why richness in the world is so unevenly divided among people. Only a tiny minority possesses the vast majority of power and money while the rest of the people struggle to run a decent life. It would be fantastic to find a way to eradicate poverty. With the amazing technological advances that we witness today it must be possible for everyone to work half of what they are currently working and have the same outcome. Unfortunately big multinational companies and politics prevent such efficient distribution of resources.
