Idle Ideas

Probably 99% of my new ideas are lost because I don't have a scratch pad to scribble it down when it occours. Sometimes even if I have a scratch pad, I misplace it later and the idea vanishes with that. To avoid such a great loss to humankind, I think, I should wear a scratch pad on myself the way people wear glasses with strings attached.

For once, I could jot down this idea about the scratch screen. After a couple of months of usage, my helmet gets scratches. That's fine because that's one of the function of the helmet. But even the visor gets scratches and that's not fine. Now, I look at my wife's mobile phone and I see a thin plastic film. She can remove that screen every once in a while and replace it with another one. All scratches of past few months vanishes in a few seconds :)
Why can't we have something like this for helmet?

To make this innovation practical, there is one addition required. Let's say I buy some five or ten scratch screens for my helmet. I use one immediately and keep the rest for later. However, after two months or so, when I want to replace this scratch screen, I am unable to place where I kept those replacements. Its usual to misplace such items for me (and for many other users of helmet). So another suggestion is that let's keep these replacements within the helmet. Between the outer shell and the inner lining. What say?
