Did you know that the bacteria concentration in your ears when wearing ear buds or headphones is 7 times bigger ? That’s right, when wearing headphones the bacteria concentration in your ear boosts up to 700% - not really something you could brag about.

I guess that now you’re not wondering anymore why these ear buds are shaped like this. The unique shape serves multiple purposes, besides the fact they fit quite perfectly in your ear, they can also loop around your neck when you’re not using them anymore - this is, besides decreasing the 700% bacteria boost regular ear buds cause.

I can only regret they’re only a concept for now, but still would you wear them ?

Fancy a quick snack on your way to work ? Then look no further, your problems have come to an end - we present the In-Car Microwave Oven. While priced at $167, this mobile cooking machine is made out  of robust steel and can be powered by your cigarette lighter socket or directly by the car battery at 12V. Other than the obvious, this bulky Microwave oven boasts a LED screen with touchscreen operations - which is way cool for an In-Car cooking machine.

The main disadvantage of this steel chef is that it takes a bit longer to heat up the food, because it’s only powered by a 12V battery. According to Gizmodo, warming up a coup of coffee will take around 6 minutes - not very impressive, but it’s still a better option than those roadside dinning options.

Getting tired of being woken up in the morning by head pounding alarms ? We’ve got the solution - the Osim Nioi scent clock. While we’re not entirely sure this device wouldn’t be more suitable as an appetite arouser than a clock I have to admit it’s got me drooling. Featuring a not-so-unique concept this gizmo will use your favorite scent to wake you up in the morning - ranging from freshly baked bread to anything your imagination can ‘cook up’.

How can this be, you may ask ? It’s this simple - your favorite scent will come ‘bottled’ up in a small container which will be placed in it’s corresponding place inside the clock. No word on the price just yet.

As an ex-gamer I can say that I would never buy such a keyboard. Why ? the reason is simple - gamers are used to default keyboards and removing some keys from it makes it even harder to get used to it. The design is pretty attractive though - designed by Hakan Bogazpinar - and it seems it also comes with an USB port which can be spotted on the right side of the keyboard, it’s made out of several layers and it’s said to improve your gaming performance by removing all the unnecessary keys.

Quote from Tuvie :

This year we’ve seen a lot of concepts presented and I felt like that it would be a total waste not to have the top 5 coolest concepts presented in one place. Ranging from architectural ideas to concept cars this article will present the hottest concepts of this year.

I for one think that these concepts always represent a step forward for humanity - to many people, these ideas may seem like crazy but for me the people that had them look like visionaries.

Not few were the cases where people had “crazy” ideas that changed the way we live or have brought innovations in our life.
