For us, there is no such thing as worst invention because every invention has
its purpose and function. But base on my view in this world, the worst
invention are guns and artilleries. They are powerful tools for military but
some people use it in terrorizing others, spreading fear among lands that they
want to have. These inventions are also used by criminals in conducting their
crimes. The nuclear bomb is an example of the bad invention of humans that
can cause a tremendous explosion that can kill many people in an instant just
like what happened in Hiroshima, Japan that killed thousands of people. This
invention doesn't have an excellent result because it only meant for
destruction. For example, technology was used by mankind in creating the
powerful and destructive weapons during war between two countries just like
what happened in world war I and II and also the past tension between USA
and Iran.
2. What kind of things do inventors need to think about before they try to build
something? Why?
The inventors should think about their main objective in building something.
Are they creating a tool to bring convenience to people? Is it a necessity for
everyone? Will the target users benefit from it? This kind of things should be
in mind so that the inventions will not get out of hand and will not create
further damage on the hands of the users. We often hold a variety of
misconceptions about what an inventor does. Simply put, inventors search for
new possibilities, and can pull inspiration from the work of others to advance
and innovate. They see the world as it can be, not as it is. In order to do this,
they require outside-the-box thinking. Where other people see things as good
enough, inventors look around and never fail to imagine how things could be
better. There are different steps that an inventor needs to consider before
making a project or inventions. First, scientists/inventors will start to look for
the problem that they need to solve, why that specific problem need to be
solved and the purpose of the inventors. Second, after analyzing the problem
the inventor should think of the possible solutions through research to solve
the problem. Furthermore, inventors should consider the best possible
solution by consulting to other experts to give their insights for better
enhancement of the invention. After having the possible solution, the inventor
should think of what is the impact of that invention to the community and its
advantages that makes it capable to solve the problem, likewise to determine
its disadvantages. Knowing its disadvantages means that it is open for
innovation and improvements to provide the final output before building it.
