Hi for my english class, we have to make an invention using cheap material that is useful, original, and provides a solution to a problem. We actually have to show the class like a prototype of it and I have no idea what to do! Mines on tuesday and I'm so stressed over it. (My idea was to make something that separates plastic and paper for a recycling bin, but i have no idea what i would make..so please help provide me with more ideas for inventions). ITS NOT A SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT, so don't get confused with the ideas that it has to be scientific. Just something useful that uses cheap materials. please help

Here's my problem.

I have an awful lot of cords from my computer, monitor, mouse, printer, and internet connection plugged into my surge protector. The cords are long and create a mess. I have no idea which cord goes with which device.

Can you devise a way to separate and consolidate these cords?
