Idea: Cellphone Breathalyzer +
Who hasn’t ever made a dumb phone call while they were drunk (or intoxicated in another way)?
And we’re never really proud when we do this, but hey sometimes the overwhelming need to talk to someone at 2am comes over you, and without inhibitions to guide you, naturally, a foolish call is initiated.
So what I’m proposing is a few things actually; first, phones should have a breathalyzer. It wouldn’t block you from making all calls, it would just just block you from calling a predetermined blacklist (because you would obviously still need your phone for legitimate reasons). I also propose that the phone be setup to auto drop certain incoming calls when you are intoxicated (because who wants to talk to their Great Aunt, or employer).
But then what if its not booze that has you out of a stable mind, well then I can solve that too. Before making or receiving a call you must solve a little onscreen puzzle or riddle.
The breathalyzer is a little extreme and would need to be done on the manufacturer side, but the idea of having to complete a quick puzzle (to ensure mental stability) is quite a bit easier and would just be a software issue.
