Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 20,1982 3 Byline... By Peter Parrott Before long, you're going to be able to buy a can opener which comes complete with a stereo headset, digital clock, and perhaps a pair of nail trimmers. Sound fantastic? Perhaps. But the imaginary invention I have described above isn't so hard to believe when you consider the fact that you can already buy a pen with a digital clock built in. You can also buy a watch which comes complete with a calculator. And there is a flashlight that includes a built-in radio. Where will we draw the line on this large list of odd products which are rolling off the assembly lines? Now, I would be the last person to wish for a world in which all merchandise is identical, painted drab; grey and available in just one model. That's the sort of dull consumer world which we hear visitors describe after a trip to one of the iron curtain countries. But I sometimes wonder if our inventiveness has taken us to the opposite extreme. If it is possible to manufacture a new widget, or gadget, then that device is manufactured. And if it is aggressively advertised and attractively packaged ' it can probably be sold. It makes you wonder if anyone really stands back and asks himself if the world needs a pen with a built- in digital timepiece. I also wonder if we will see other Frankenstein inventions which might include, for example, a pencil sharpener with built-in calculator or a cassette tape player attached to a skateboard. The technology of micro electronics makes both inventions within the réalm of possibility. Perhaps some day, we will require all new products to go before a committee of knowledgeable persons who will decide if a device should be allowed to compete with consumer dollars in the marketplace. Meanwhile, it will , be up to the consumers to decide if they want a pen which plays their favorite song or some other item from the microchip microchip minds of today's inventors and manufacturers. I wouldn't mind seeing some restrictions placed on products that may be feasible but not really useful. But I hope that such regulations don't come into being before I've invented the electric coffee maker, digital clock and TV screen attachment for this.typewriter. P.D. Day Planned for Early Childhood Educators Oct. 23 . \ , ♦ .
