An Idea : Take Something Broken and Fix It.
Take a broken or obsolete piece of modern technology and re-think that object. What could possibly be done to resurrect or re-purpose it into something even better?
Look at what still works or what is still relevant on the object. Take this usable feature and heighten its operative aspects. Create design or visual functionality from what is now seen by society as "junk."
Pictured: A third-generation, 4GB iPod Nano with a broken screen. Everything else still works, but that broken screen makes the display resemble abstract video art (hey, wait a second!) which would usually relegate this fairly expensive item to a landfill.
Let's see... what can we do with this thing?
