Weird/fun prompt—how much marginal problem-solving capacity could you create by making good domestic whiteboards way more viable? Domestic whiteboards are usually either too small or too obtrusive. There's rarely enough unbroken wall space; free-standing boards eat huge sqftage.

Yeah. That’s why I think the switchable windows aren’t ultimately a good solution. Some companies market white boards in cabinets, but that kind of wall space is rare.

Add touch capabilities to TV sets, develop whiteboard apps for the result and allow saving screen content. This way you can reuse space already attributed and hide when required?

This aligns well with people’s existing drives to get larger and larger TVs. Nice!
