Many innovations find success because they speed up everyday processes or present more efficient ways of completing them. I think within the next decade this idea will become commercial. Here we have a way to save every single person 10-20 minutes of a Routine Task (RT) every single day for the rest of their life. Through innovation and searching for efficiency, RTs will always minimise over time. A simple analogy is computer boot times. Compared to the desktop machines of yesterday, today's load in a fraction of the time, allowing us to do the tasks we want to sooner, and for longer. Now we can wirelessly purchase and download eBooks to our Kindle devices, allowing us to spend more time reading, less time physically searching. It's common knowledge the Airblade was simply a redesigned Mitsubishi Jet Towel from 1993...
... but I hope Dyson or someone else can come up with this device, as it is definitely the future. It will more than likely be a combined shower/dryer unit for efficiency's sake, but whoever can get this to market first is surely onto a winner. If I don't see anything within 5 years, I'll apply to Dragon's Den myself...
And finally, a
note from Mr Dyson himself. There is a worrying truth to his words, what with the government preoccupied with both protecting the financial industry and trying to promote a London-based Silicon Valley.
