Think of a new product or service you wish existed. Where do new products come from?

New products and services

Where do new products come from? Innovative thinking helps drive the development of new products and services. For example, wouldn’t all of you like to use the transporter from Star Trek to travel anywhere in an instant! An engineer at 3M, who was trying to create a very strong glue, developed Post-It Notes.

For this discussion, each of you is asked to think of a new product or service you wish existed (or expand on how an existing product or service should be reconfigured). Perhaps you have recently found something which solves a problem for you.
