Okay, here's something a little different:
Come up with some kind of technology/device. The person below you has to come up with an explanation of how it works, then provide their own device.

It is a helmet that runs off of your highly caffeinated blood, and then shoots out the images through your eyeballs and is excruciatingly painful.

It is a set of boots that is powered by your strange mind. When you think happy thoughts, you fly. Angry thoughts, and you crash.

I make a mind-reader.

Quantum detanglement prevents them from interescting, making all car crashes zero. Otherwise damage with new forcefeilds on buildings makes them violently explode upon contact with walls, making people far more cautious.

It uses the steam to push itself along the tracks, rather than having any mechanical, moving parts. Because it shoots steam out behind it as a manner of propulsion, it cannot be a passenger train.

I create a teleportation watch.

o_O It burns hair, heating up water which then turns into steam. The steam rises and gets pushed through the blades of the windmill, making it turn.

I create a power generator fueled by Zero Punctuation reviews.

The verbiage spilling out of the speakers turns a turbine, creating your power. Also, the hot air spewing from the fanboys of the games that were lambasted creates steam to power a second turbine.

I create a physical map of the internet which updates itself every three seconds.

An ordinary projector, simply with a wireless connection to allow it to be anywhere.

I create a device that is a knife, television remote and tennis racket all in one!

It uses the power gained from the cutting motion of the knife combined with the swinging motion of the racket to power the remote. It does, however, make each of these activities quite challenging.

I make an automatic internet scanner that blocks stupid posts.

It uses the latest technology to travel back to the host computer and electrocutes whoever uses it, stopping the stupid posts.

It pries out your brain and puts it in brine, then plugs the brined brain into the A/V port of your TV and console.
