"When people initially become aware of a risk, they overreact. They have a temporary short-term overreaction. People pause what they're doing, become hyper-vigilant, check out the environment more carefully than they normally would and—this is perhaps the most important characteristic of the adjustment reaction—they take precautions that may be excessive, may be inappropriate, and are certainly premature."

SO in the future we could be self reliant with food. Each neighborhood could provide different produce. ANd we could trade with other neighborhoods. I know this is kind of like going back in time instead of forward but I think we should take from the past to make the future better. I will post a picture later of my group of our bartering system.

It would be cool if each person could choose what community they wanted to help. Then by city and possibly start something more local. Local problems for the area they are in might cause them to feel more interested in helping and like thhey ca actually make a difference.

It would be great if with this program you could type in your name in a disaster sitution and your status, so that people worried about you can easily type your name in and see where you are and your status. Alive, safe, healthy, unijured, injured, need help, tramped, and so on. Then these statuses could be filtered and those that need help along witht their location can be forwarded to rescue teams.

OK so you know how people work out.... Well why not use some sort of machine that is powered by us while we are working out? Lets say you are going to go for your morning run you shoes could have something inside them that everytime you pound the pavement it creates energy, the same with a bicylce. Everytime you go ride you bike it create energy that you can use later to power your home. This would encourage people to work out and create a healthier society.
