Imagine it's that festive time of the week. You want to pop open that bottle of wine or that bottle of sparkling cider (for those of us under 21) Enter the problem. You don't have a corkscrew to open that cork. Enter the CorkChain. The CorkChain is an idea inspired by the laziest of all human beings. The keychain bottle opener has become almost a necessity these days. Why not have a corkscrew on your keychain? A corkscrew is the preferred way of opening bottles with corks these days. It is safe, efficient, and does no damage to the glass bottle. The CorkChain will further simplify opening bottles and soon eliminate the need for a household corkscrew. The CorkChain is a portable corkscrew that clips onto your keys and stays clipped on for easy access.
This past week, we learned about the power of social networking in IST 195. I have only come up with this idea because I constantly see my Facebook "friends" posting about how they don't have a corkscrew and they need one. Through the power of social media, I have put this idea out on Twitter and have received a general positive response. While I doubt that I will actually produce a physical model of this, I really do like the idea and through the power of the internet, I feel as if I will be able to make this widely popular.
I have realized that through the power of social networking, I am able to contact others who share the same interests as me. I'm willing to bet that I will be able to find many other people who will support this idea. The main design oaf this will be a retractable corkscrew with foam padding on it so it is comfortable in pockets/purses/carrying cases. I plan to get this idea out and hopefully this idea can turn into a successful entrepreneurship project. That's my introduction. Goodnight and good luck. Maybe this can become something. Who knows? Till next time.
