This would be creepy, especially in the middle of the night, to someone who is spending the night. Or maybe to burglars.
Instead of regular carpet fibers, there are small, electrically stimulated "muscles" which contract when a small electric current is applied. With the flip of a switch, a current
pulsates through the carpet, waking the canpet fibers contract and relax. It would be creepy the first time, but it would also fell great on your feet.

On your feet's the best way to fall. |
|

This would be useful for moving furniture. |

If the carpet were made such that peristaltic waves would sweep over its surface, it would also be self cleaning. Dropped legos and magazines would migrate along to a designated spot, the "carpet colon". [Dfox], your mind is like a mountain spring. Or maybe a geyser. |

A soft massage when you lie on the carpet your back...Come to think of it, can it have different settings, like high, medium, and low? |
|
| |
Can you set it to "SHAKE", so it shakes like a dog, when it's wet? |
|
| |
The carpet could operate the vacuum itself. |
|
| |
A mountain spring, bungston? Your duckling ammo idea is pretty good, too. |
|
| |
Could this be used to counter the effects of earthquakes, by setting up anti-surface waves? [+] |

You're electrocuting dustmites? |
|
| |
Earthquake effect reduction, Absinthe? Sounds good. |

"Lay down on the carpet and get a massage after the beep!" |
|
| |
This is possibly the best idea I've read on here so far. I wonder if you could program it to move board game money around to your side. |
|
| |
"Hey, since when did you have so much Monopoly money?" |
|
| |
Or it could be used to transport grandma to bed. Move the coffee table closer to the couch. Push a bookcase over and start a whodunnit. |
|
| |
This has endless possibilites. |
