I wish 3. Lights auto-off

I wish all the electric and electronic indoor and outdoor light sources like florescent lights, incandescent lights, led lights and halogen lights would have inbuilt ambient light sensors that would automatically turn them off when not required (when the ambient light is brighter than a threshold).

Just screw a light bulb in and it should simply work as described with nothing else required. Would save a lot of electricity and obviate the need for people to turn off lights in the morning ;)

I wish 2. Tata Nanos & Auto-rickshaws

I wish Tata Nanos would replace all auto-rickshaws in India. I wish some intermediary would get into the business of putting up some replacement offers. I know many people who wish this were true!!

I wish 1. Motor-bikes & helmets

I wish bike manufacturers would consider and design helmets as natural extensions of the bikes they make and sell it as a part of the bike. It is a natural means to extend the bike's design identity, to stress that the bike considers rider safety important and will result in helmet innovations.
