Track and delete all copies

Anything that's posted online may be available long after you've deleted it from the original source. That's because search engines and other web crawlers move around the internet indexing websites and making copies. Some sites reprocess online content without your knowing about it. So just because you delete something, it may still be available on the internet somewhere. A software that tracks your postings and deletes not just the original but all copies of it on the web would be very useful. You never know when you might post something you want to delete later.

At-home mail pick up

Simple idea but not universally implemented makes you wonder why. Every letter box should have 2 slots designated as in and out. The postman delivers mail into the in-slot and takes mail from the out-slot. If you expect mail, you don't have to go to the post-office or the nearest drop box to post your mail. The postman will head back to the post-office anyway so why not take your mail. It saves time and costs nothing. Why doesn't it become universal practice?

posting emails

aren't you curious to read what people write to each other? how about a new category where people can post excerpts from emails in which they had an interesting talk with someone on a topic of interest? in order to respect everyone's privacy while rewarding everyone's curiosity, any names or mention of private info must be removed before posting.

That's an idea I had for our very confidential thoughts we need to put down so that we don't forget and that no one else should have a look at.

Does the post-it note self-destruct permanently or can it get back to its original state?

I guess a mini-explosion that would make it disappear altogether might be the best solution. I think I might have seen some cartoon with similar idea or something like that.

I am sure students who cheat could use them a lot when caught by teachers.
