How Great Inventions Ideas are Thought Of

Alan Turing was also an avid runner

In the world of business and manufacturing today there is a growing number of patents and copyright restrictions on inventions and products. There is a lot of money to be made by developing a new invention, and it leaves a lot of people wondering; How are great invention ideas thought of? Well I plan to tell you what I have learned through my research and experience, about how good inventions are thought of. Firstly, one must have an imaginative, creative mind that can think outside the box and envision things that very few others can. Secondly, great inventions ideas are thought of when there is an opportunity for it. For example, just before the 1940’s, Alan Turing invented what would go on to be the groundwork for the what we know as computers today. But, he would not have had the opportunity to invent such a machine if the opportunity hadn’t come to help break a German message-encrypting device. Such grand circumstances called for a grand invention as such. Lastly, to come up with a good invention takes a lot of hard work, dedication and determination. To be the first to do or create something is unimaginably hard! Can you share of any great invention ideas, and if possible, how they were thought of?

This billboard does something you’ll never imagine. - New Invention

Me and my friends ever wondered if we can access information through our phones for a product rather than through a physical flyer. We then found out one day that you could scan codes with your phone,

Billboards can now connect to smartphone smart billboards enabled with NFC and QR code readers so you can access information more efficiently, and has been explained in greater depth in technology articles. Such new inventions are very innovative and make it very convenient for consumers to familiarize themselves with the product or service, especially when places with high populated areas and highly accessible.

Having Wi-Fi for 4G/3G data connection is required however, and cannot be accessed under subways and such wireless obstructing areas.

Despite that however, it is arguably very efficient being easily accessible makes it a great invention made in recent time for promotion methods.

Ideas for Inventions to Help the Military Strengthen Defences

"Wearable robot" takes 10% of the load off

Working in the military is a job the requires a lot of different technology, assistance and support from other humans as well as from new advancements and inventions. Creating or helping to produce the most efficient soldier is one of mankind’s biggest competitions since the beginning of time. From using stone tools, to harnessing fire, to creating Kevlar, new ideas for inventions and technology has pushed us farther through evolution and enabled us to do things that were unimaginable a few decades ago. Defences in the military are crucial to protecting our resources, whether they are human resources or natural resources. A couple ideas for inventions that might strengthen the military defences I came across during my research are “wearable robots”, which would enable soldiers to move faster and be more efficient. I believe this idea is one that will shape the future of not only military defences, but also human assistance and prosthetics, the need for wheelchairs could be reduced. The goal is to be able to enable the average marine or soldier to run the four-minute mile. Do you know or have any ideas for inventions that we might see come into play in the near future?

Do you think inventions are important for the advance of mankind?

New inventions have progressed over the years and many of which have promoted the lead of innovation and improvement of making the world a better, more advanced, and fun place.

Inventors are always striving to improve and advance towards future technology and make progress towards revolutionary inventions. However, that is not to say that we can also slow down and make use of our current technology, as sometimes we can make use of what we have which better the use of what we can have at the moment.

What are some recent inventions that have benefited you recently, and what do you think about how new inventions can develop and enhance our lives? Technology inventions have played a large role in mankind’s advance and improved the lives of many, though that can be interpreted differently through the perspective of many others.

Most Recent Inventions: The Smart Trashcan

One of the most recent inventions that I’ve discovered is the smart trashcan. It is a neat little device, in the form of a trashcan, which helps you discard your trash by moving to catch your litter when you toss it. This advanced device uses a Kinect sensor to help calculate the trajectory of thrown trash and then tells the trashcan where it needs to be to catch the litter. The smart trashcan uses three separate wheels with individual motors on the same axel to quickly move and is also designed with a low centre of gravity to prevent it from tipping over. Although this invention currently only has a 10-20% success rate, creator Minoru Kurata is determined to update the trajectory calculation programming and upgrade the sensor to raise the success rate. He hopes to one day patent this invention and sell the idea to companies. Here is a link to a Youtube video where you can learn more and watch the smart trashcan do its thing: Smart Trashcan catches trash. Although one of the most recent inventions, I believe this has the potential to be found in every home in North America. Would you buy this invention if it were available? Why or why not?
