week 7

    I saw two news on the television that kind of related to my last post of creativity and innovation. It's about new invention that can make good profit on marketing. The first one is prove that time is money. Nowadays people set alarm to wake them up. However, most of the time they still stuck in the bed and continue sleeping. As a result, the inventor invented a kind of alarm that will tear off your paper bill if you don't get up and turn off the alarm. (you need to put the paper bill on a specific space of the alarm the time you set your alarm.) The inventor's idea is that people will choose to save their money instead of keep lying on the bed. Though I wonder that maybe some people will still go back to bed after they turn off the alarm...? Another invention is plastic ice ball. In the summer, people like to get cold drinks with ice cube. Yet, ice  cube will melt after a period of time, which can affect the flavor of the drink. Therefore, the inventor create small plastic balls that contain water in them. You can put the plastic balls in the refrigerator to freeze the water. By putting plastic balls in your drink, we can keep the drink from getting warm, and don't need to worry about the flavor being affected, because even the frozen water melt, it will still stay in the plastic ball. I found out many inventions are invented to improve our lives. The problem of cold drink with ice cube has long existed in my life, but never had I thought to solve this problem. With a small invention, it can provide such a good market.
