Problem: Constructing a basic electronic circuits can be a tedious activity, usually involving a mess of wires and tiny components.
Solution: Embed each electronic component into a connectable module (eg male/female connector, like an earphone jack).
Details:
-Each connectable module
would be clearly marked with a symbol representing component type and component value.
-All modules would be in standard sizes/shapes so circuits would fit together neatly/predictably.
-Connectable modules would follow a standard convention (input=female, output=male).
-User could embed their own components into modifiable modules.
-Lots of 'user-friendly' components would be available (such as little ammeters and voltmeters which could easily be connected throughout the circuit).
-Could be used for digital and/or analogue electronics.
This invention would be useful for prototyping and teaching electronics.

Sorry but way baked! We had something similar in Physics class at High School. |

This sounds like a "bread board". I'm not sure if it is called something else in other parts of the world. |
