REVIVO

Good ideas and innovations are traditionally associated with the ever-advancing and progressive technological future. However, some ideas from the past are also good, and deserve to be REVIVED! These are not simply good ideas that are "Retro", they are "Revivo". Just because an idea is oldfashioned, doesn't mean it's inferior to the modern. Here are some good ideas that should be brought back into use, because they are still good! ...

Cisterns - Underground fresh water tanks - Having your own household water supply independent of the State

Back Boilers - free hot water as a side-effect of having a real fire in a fireplace.

Starting Handle - an innovative way to start a car manually even if the car battery is flat!

Computer Programming - bring back The BBC Computer Literacy Project!

Canned Bread - Gluten-free bread in cans! Yes, that's right: tins of bread.

Airships - lighter-than-air dirigible flying machines which are still a good idea despite a few early PR setbacks.

Cardboard Boxes in Shops - Just because there is "recycling" doesn't give grounds for excuses to justify a total absence of re-usable useful cardboard boxes in shops!

These are just a few of the possibilities for ideas which were good in the past, and yet have gone out of fashion, but could be brought back!
