Has that ever happened to you?
To me it has happened a lot of time already and I think it will be repeated time and again in future as well.
I am talking about the existence of weird gadgets.
At times I hear of something and then say that can't be done, and the very next moment something pops up in front of me proving existence of what I wasn't ready to accept.
Like this very Movable Bench!
People have created so many different things.
Have you seen something that you thought won't be there?

I am sure that I have. I'm a conceptualist though so I come up with things that will never be made all of the time. I really really like this bench though. It should be a new form of public transit kinda like a taxi.
My favorite random and rare technology is bicycles that are made for railroad tracks. Super super awesome and super dangerous. I like danger.

Hi.
I guess they would be meant for fun and adventure only, can't see a purpose behind running a bicycle on rail tracks.
Thanks for your response.

Railtracks span very long distances and cut through parts of the countryside that roads don't always hit. They can be a wonderful traffic free route between towns and cities and get you to exclusive areas of the woods to go camping. Like I said though, railbikes can be super dangerous.

The only which I am waiting for is a gadget usig which I can be invisible to others. That is the only gadget I want in my hands, of course it hasn't been made till date or at least I don't know about it.
About all others I can see them in my TV set, every sunday at 1000 hrs

I think if it before, during gradeschool, I would've been skeptical about such innovations but, now with the times leaning much on technology, I wouldn't be surprised at all. People have invented things due to the rise of its necessity. Perhaps someone thought of it being needed so they decided to invent something that would help them do what they want to do and be more convenient. (^_^ )

To me, everything that can make some bucks is really cool.
Though can't understand the working of it properly, but I guess it is something really interesting.
Thanks for your response.

I have seen so many gadgets that I would never have thought would have existed. The latest (if you can call this a gadget) is the public toilet that has two way mirrors where you can see out but noone can see in. It sits out in the street so there you are doing your number (whichever one at the time) and you see people walking by. It's like being exposed without being exposed. Kinda weird but interesting. What gets me is when I think I have an idea I then find a product that has already been invented.

Hi.
I just wonder what the person using that public toilet have to do with people rushing by. Even if he/she know somebody passing by, they won't be calling his name and ask them to stop!
Thanks for your response.

I am not smart or intelligent too much.But sometimes,i also think about gadget or something that not exist in this world like washing machine can we put in our pocket and bring it to anywhere we go.It is weird thing i can thought before this.Maybe you feel funny and weird too.

Hi.
It is not weird to me but logically there is a problem.
The huge mechanism required to wash clothes can't be put together in a small thing that can fit in to your pocket.

Well; I have not seen any such devices . However, with rapid advancements in Technology ; more such devices and Gadgets would be in the public domain .However;their initial prices would be higher .

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. This terrific-looking bench looks like a prime example. Somewhere was a worker who wanted a place to sit for a break while he was working. Or, perhaps some one's father gave them rides in the wheel barrow when they were little. There's such an effort to make productivity better and faster, all kinds of interesting gadgets are invented. I love walking around kitched gadget stores. I also always find something to make food preparation easier and faster. I like all the new silicone utensils and cookware. It doesn't break, chip or rust and it's so easy to clean. Before they were made, I never would have thought of something like that.

Talking about revolutions, you are quoting a few serious things there.
I think it will still take us years and years to build that kind of things.

I am not sure of that sort of thing but I know I have always a sort of deadlock before I start writing anything, may be a long article. As I think of the task I get lazy and non motivating but as I have really started I have done it. It is really amazing. The same thing used to hap[pen during my examinations. In each and every examination I have a thought that nothing I would be able to write but as the question papers are at hand and I have written the first sentence there is no looking back. Even I have no time to go to the toilet.

Hi.
I wish I had that kind of brains as well.
In most of the cases, first sentence is what I have to write for all.

I think that is an experience that many people have had in the era of technology and digital everything. It's pretty cool to see some of the gadgets that make it out onto the market every year. The thing is with some, no sooner are they here when the replacement arrives and the originals are obsolete.

Hi.
Yes, everything is improving day by day. New things are replacing older once and if they are electronic then they are even cheaper then their previous versions.

of course it happened to me, nobody knows every invention ever made. That would be just impossible to do.

You thought of inventing things by your own self...
You must be having a really good mind and thought process.

Well actually in our product design subject we created a weird gadget named "Electric Mouse Trap" luckily, our professor disapproved it since it's not really house-friendly because if the house owner leaves the house and just left it plugged it might create fire. It sounds cool but it's not really effective since the mouse has to go inside the gadget just to get the cheese. Mouse are intelligent creatures and they might even knew at first that the gadget is a trap before the gadget actually caught the mouse.

Mankind, will defitely try to invent and develop new forms of technology for our own good and survival. It is a part of human cycle. As we evolved in this universe, we find, seek and develop things which will cater to our own good. I think we really have to thank people who are doing these things for us. Because without them, I think we are still leaving in the darkest part of mountain caves.

Hi.
That is so true. But for all these inventions, mankind would have been surviving for existence like all other animals.
As they say, before wheel, man was animal and after that, that animal turned into man.
