Pranks are abound today (even in the tech world) but there are some ideas we wished became actual products. One such item is the Google Inbox-inspired Smartbox. True to its name, this "smart mailbox" will sort through your physical mail and put them into folders. Notify you on your phone when new mail has arrived. It'll even deliver electric shocks for spam mail sent to you (much to the annoyance of your mail man). 

The Smartbox has a touchscreen built into the side for when you want to check notifications and the like. You open the mailbox via a waving gesture. You can even detach the box from the pole and bring it with you. Yes, traditional mail can be portable, too. The Smartbox needs Inbox by Gmail to work. Now, someone get working on an actual interpretation of this!
