Machines can do it for you

The Independent went to Edison High School in Huntington Beach to ask

students, ‘What is a machine you would like to invent?’

“A robot that does all the housework like in ‘The Jetsons.’ How

about that one?”

MATTHEW FISHER, 17

Huntington Beach

“Something that can drive your car so you can use both hands to

eat -- or talk on the phone.”

JOHN DIMOND, 17

Huntington Beach

“A teleporter cause then you could go places really fast, like a

rocket booster, and fly through the air. Or flying slippers!”

TARA KOSTRIKIN, 14

Huntington Beach

“Something to help you get ready in the morning faster. Or when

you are in traffic on the freeway, you could have a button in your

car and a helicopter could pick you up.”

DANIELLE EDISON, 15

Costa Mesa

“You know how you always lose your channel changer? A machine that

helps you find it. You press a button and it beeps, just like a

phone.”

TRAVIS HATFIELD, 15

Huntington Beach

“A time machine to go back in time or go into the future and see

what I am like in the future.”

STEVEN CORNETT, 18

Huntington Beach

“Probably a time machine to bring people back in time and fix

mistakes.”
