Street smarts & Positive thinking, most people dont have or know the difference between that and common sense also some dont have access to knowing of such a skill that can greatly benifit you, Ive met plenty of people whom are very intelligent but when it comes to certain aspects they just cant figure out simple reasoning.
Street smarts is essentially the same as the 48 laws of power
Ex) 1) Dont outshine the master
2) Understanding selective genorosity
3) Realizing when to except a smaller lost for a bigger gain.
All these things are everyday things people know and use but if they actually took time and careful effort to use this skill it could help you in your everyday life situations greatly.

Intrinsic Value: Existence?
5 Senses
Though the intrinsic meaning does not lie the judgement of the smell/touch/look/etc (e.i. weather it's "good" or "bad"), it does lie in the fact that you react to it the first time you sense it (or that you know it's there). Same with all stimuli/objects, the fact that it exists is enough of an intrinsic meaning in itself.
I'm not talking about the name; I'm talking about the actual space it occupies. The intrinsic value of an object is to occupy (not only just physical) space. Something like that.
Though on this day and age "I exist" may be cliché or odd, I think it holds a lot of value.

Fashion Designer and Copyrights
There is a sort of debate that has been going around about fashion designer and copyrights. I haven't really thought about it.. eh whatever. (Not really important at this moment.)

Invention
Sorry I haven't posted any of my projects for this class. I'll start uploading them all now.
Many students may have this bad habit of doing their work at the last minute and or are desperate enough, they do all- nighters just so they can finish the work on time. I for one am no exception. I've had many nights like this where I would work through to morning and then run on empty throughout the day.
My solution? Wear a sleepwalker. This device will allow you to continue your work as you sleep. In other words, like an airplane, you can go on auto pilot as well. With its wearable watch-like design, the sleepwalker achieves this by sending shock waves to the brain; with the brain stimulated, it would allow you to continue working at a level where it's almost as if you were awake but at the same time get that much needed sleep. The watch has a built in touch screen with a set of its own exclusive apps that let you configure how you want it to work. It even includes a feature where it may even send shock waves throughout the body to induce sleepwalking, only thing is that with the brain functioning on a more conscious level, you are able to control what you do as well.
Extra notes
The watch design idea came from another watch that my dad used on me to help with my seasickness. When I was smaller, he would take me to go fishing with him. However, I would always get seasick. We would go miles out so there was no sense going back to drop me off. So pretty much all I would do the whole day was sleep so I wouldn't have to puke. The watch would work by sending shock waves through me so that I would supposedly feel better. Unfortunately, it did not work. Probably because it was in my head but I thought that it was an interesting way to cure seasickness nonetheless.
The sleepwalking feature in my invention was also inspired by one of dad's devices that he used on me. It was a massager that would send shock waves through you using shock pads to loosen stiff muscles. I was fascinated by it when it made my hand move on its own with every shock. So I was thinking if the shocks were able to manipulate my muscles to move, then maybe one day there will be such an invention where the shocks were strong enough to move the whole body.

Everything Old Is New Again - YOUNG
In the early days of telegraph and radio, messages were sent using a combination of dots and dashes called Morse Code. Over the years it disappeared with the advent of voice, video and text communication. Today Google is resurrecting Morse Code as a way of texting using only two keyboard keys -- one for dot, and one for dash. Check it out!
