Street cellphone chargers

Make cellphone-charging "towers" of some sort where people pay to (lock up? and) charge their phones on street corners, or perhaps in delis

"World peace" website

<p dir=ltr>Start a website where people just project their ideas on finding world peace, and/or ask for help needed.&#160; With a way to weed out the&#160;irrelevant off-topic&#160;comments.&#160; A&#160;more public google group type site with active monitors?&#160; </p>
<p dir=ltr>We all want&#160;world peace&#160;(well, most of us, anyway)-- the internet allows for unprecedented info-sharing and collaboration that might actually allow us to do it-- what are we waiting for???</p>
<p dir=ltr>Let's get google, Facebook, craigslist, and apple "on it" to make this social networking site just for helping people and asking for help</p>

Teach children to teach themselves

Schools should explicitly empower children how to explore and learn about what THEY want to learn.  A class (or afterschool proram perhaps? just something.) on how to understand what interests you.

Along the lines of the google business model of 20% time dedicated to personal interests-type deal.

School can be soul-crushingly rigid and I can't imagine that's the way to get children excited about learning anything.
