We Actually Give A F*** - Because someone has to stand up for what's right in technology.
Inspired by the stunning turquoise and coral colors prominent in Broome, Western Australia.
We don't claim to have all the answers. These are concepts born from observing real problems and wondering "what if there was a better way?" Some might work, some might not - but they're all driven by genuine desire to make things better.
No marketing fluff, no false promises. These are early-stage ideas that need development, testing, and probably significant refinement. We're looking for partners who share the vision of technology that actually serves people.
We reject vendor lock-in, forced obsolescence, and manipulative business practices. Technology should empower users, not trap them. The more companies that actually give a f***, the better.
These are concepts that might help solve real problems. They need development, testing, and the right partners to become reality.
Workplace injuries, particularly back injuries, devastate workers' lives and cost billions annually. Most solutions are reactive - treating injuries after they happen. What if we could prevent them instead?
Having seen the impact of workplace injuries firsthand, I believe there's potential for technology that actively prevents harm rather than just treating it afterward. The concept needs significant development, but the core idea of proactive protection feels worth exploring.
Imagine a lightweight exoskeleton that monitors body position and movement patterns. When it detects potentially harmful postures or excessive strain, it provides gentle corrective support. The system would learn each user's patterns and adapt accordingly.
Traditional back braces are passive and can weaken muscles. This concept would only engage when needed, maintaining natural muscle development while preventing injury. Significant engineering challenges remain, but the principle seems sound.
Mining, construction, warehousing, healthcare - any industry where workers face repetitive strain or heavy lifting. The harsh Australian working conditions could provide ideal testing environments if this concept ever moves to development.
Rib and chest injuries are incredibly painful and slow to heal. Current support options are often inadequate - either too restrictive for daily life or too minimal to provide meaningful relief. People suffer through recovery with limited options.
Having witnessed the devastating impact of chest injuries and the inadequate recovery support available, I believe there's room for innovation in remedial care. This isn't about prevention - it's about helping people heal and manage their condition better.
Advanced materials that could provide targeted support exactly where needed during recovery. The idea would be adaptive support that adjusts to different activities - more support during movement, less restriction during rest. Comfort and functionality for daily life during healing.
Current solutions are one-size-fits-all and often uncomfortable for extended wear. This concept would focus on personalized support that adapts to the individual's injury pattern and recovery stage. Significant material science challenges, but potentially transformative for recovery quality.
Better recovery outcomes, reduced pain during healing, improved quality of life for people dealing with chest injuries. Could benefit athletes, accident victims, post-surgical patients - anyone facing the challenge of rib or chest injury recovery.
Social media promises connection but often delivers isolation, anxiety, and manipulation. People are more "connected" than ever but lonelier than ever. Current platforms profit from engagement addiction rather than genuine human wellbeing.
Mental health crises, social isolation, and digital manipulation are real problems affecting millions. What if social technology was designed for user wellbeing instead of corporate profit? The concept needs significant development, but the principle feels important.
Privacy-first design with no data harvesting. Local processing where possible, encrypted peer-to-peer connections. Focus on facilitating real-world meetings and genuine connections rather than endless scrolling. Business model based on user wellbeing, not engagement addiction.
Technology should heal rather than harm. This concept would prioritize reducing anxiety and facilitating meaningful connections. Significant technical and business model challenges, but the potential for positive social impact feels worth exploring.
Helping isolated individuals find genuine community, supporting mental health through real connection, providing an alternative to manipulative social platforms. Could be particularly valuable for people struggling with social anxiety or those seeking authentic relationships.
If any of these concepts resonate with you, or if you share the GAF philosophy, let's talk. These ideas need the right partners to become reality.
