Tips for Inventing - Invention Idea Survey

By , About.com GuideMarch 16, 2008

Follow me on:

Every ask yourself "what would be a good thing to invent?" One of the best ways to collect ideas for developing an innovation or invention is to take a survey. Make sure to survey a variety of people of all different ages and occupations. The more people you talk to, the more ideas you will get. The following list of questions may help you.
  • What does not work as well as you would like it to work?
  • What job(s) would you like to see solved?
  • What problem(s) would you like to see solved?
  • If you could invent something to make your life easier, what would you invent?
  • What is the most annoying problem you find at home? at school? at work? at the airport? on the road? at the supermarket? at the bank? at the shopping center?

Or,you can walk around all day,and complain about,peopleand places,but not be able to make any money doing that.Or you can walk around and complain about things and objects,and think up new inventions to get rid of whatever you think is wrong with them,and maybe make money from improving something.
