My invention

Ray Bradbury's story "There will come soft rains" is full of imaginary inventions of the future designed to save labor and make life more convenient for humans. Think of something that you have to do on a regular basis. (Chores, homeowrk, carrying books) that you would like to make easier and more convenient. THen design an invention that would help you do the work, or even do the work for you. Describe it in detail: what is it made of? What does it look like? What are its functions? How do you use it? What warnings go along with it?
I wouldn't describe myself as an inventor of any kind. I don't have those brilliant light bulbs that popped out from time to time the ways those brilliant scientists do. Yet, if I really have to, I guess I would deisgn a light device that can lift humans into the air. The device will be small enough to fit in your pocket, and once you clicked the start button, it will simply take you automatically into the air. It will listen to your instructions of where to, how to...etc verbally. Anyone can control it, it's simple. Maybe even simpler than stuff like walking and running. I think that would be an interesting invention. Imagining the elders and babies all drifting in the air, there will be no inconvinency due to a person's age. ELders or children wouldn't have to sit around all day waiting dor busy adults to pick them up, or get them where they're going. Instead, they can simply travel on by themselves. This invention will came out as a packet with a flygin device, a bungee jacket( designed that no one will get hurt falling to the gruond and also to keep you warm but very light0, a helmet, and a pair of sneakers that go with it ( for decoration).
