Now this one is a little controversial because it's walking the tightrope line between prevention and enablement. Nevertheless, let's run with it... some of the best ideas have a sense of controversy about them.
Using augmented reality and virtual reality create a system that allows you to virtually stalk your favourite celebrities and/or a regular joe so that you don't really have to get all creepy up in their lives for real.
Those stories that hit the press from time to time where some creeper has broken into a celebs apartment and got weird could be a thing of the past because they could virtually stalk them from the comfort of their own home, and the celebrity wouldn't find themselves confronted with a stranger that knows everything about them offering to run them a bath and make a coffee in their own home.
Instead, they would be more akin to super fans. You want followers? Okay... you got them... and at a nice safe distance.
You could even monetize your ability to be stalked. And it's not just for the famous - in reality, many people are stalked by people infatuated with them that really are the girl or guy next door.
So you can see why it's a little controversial because it allows people to get their virtual creep on, and at the same time could be a preventative measure to real creepdom. If you don't see it as at least a little controversial, well, sorry to point this out - you're probably a stalker and maybe don't know it yet.
Thought for the day... is everybody a stalker and those that aren't just haven't bumped into their victim yet? Are love and marriage the ultimate stalking franchise?
