Where do people get the ideas for a new invention

Over the past Thirty Two years, I have been privledged to talk with Hundreds of Inventors. Invaribly in our discussions the question comes up: “How did that idea come to you? Most times as not, the answer given is: Well my new invention is related to what my job is. Sounds relatively simple dose’nt it, but it actually is a combination of an inquisative mind, conscious observations of certain tasks, and quite often just plain old fashioned deep thought and a good dose of persperation. Actually, IF Inventing were that easy, literally everyone would be bringing new or improved products to Market. But, that surely is not the situation. Some people refer to inventors as “Geeks” or other disengenious descriptions of a craft that the person voicing such comments, has no understanding of what makes an inventor tick. There is absolutely nothing more exhilirating, than inventing a new or improved product, it is positively intoxicating. Do you realize, that at one time the United States Patent Office was suggested to be closed, as the reasoning given was: Everything that could possibly be invented has been invented. Wow, what a terrible consideration. As long as man can dream, and have reasoned thought, there will be inventions the like of which, even in todays World cannot even be fathomed. Think back 50-100-150 years ago, and in your minds eye, envision some of the products on the market to do some of the most sundry of tasks. You will quickly see that, every one of those products were mostly single task, extremely bulky and cumbersome and required inordinate amounts of labor to  operate. Compare that say: to the modern Combine vs the thrashing machine, or the typewriter to todays electronic systems. The comparisions are endless, but bottom line is, there will be constant innovation for as long as man see’s the need for better and better methods to do tasks, and to design other products to do tasks that are presently not doable, simply because the product has yet to be invented.  The World of Inventing can free your mind and let it dream and ponder any assortment of situations whereby you can really make a difference for all mankind. Maybe what you will invent is of limited use, but it is a step in the direction of progress, and that is something that is only limited by your own desire for a better life. Not only for yourself but for others who will have a real need for your Invention. I will continue to make posts over the coming Months, and each topic will be a different segment of what is involved in Inventing. I cordially Welcome all who visit this post to stop by my web site at: www.inventionseed.com. Indeed, should you desire and are serious about inventing I would Welcome the opportunity to talk with you.
