Number Five: Koosh Ball This small toy is incredibly simple in concept, but turned out to make big money. The Koosh Ball was invented after one creative man tied up a bunch of rubber bands to make a smaller ball with a lighter impact for his children. When he saw how well his idea panned out, he decided to create a whole new toy in itself. The patented ball is simply hundreds of rubber strings protruding from a rubber core. It …show more content…
While the business of ruining marriages is quite disgusting, it also turned out to be very profitable. It became so popular, that it reached as many as 3.2 million members. Number Two: Mood Ring The mood ring was a trendy fashion statement that characterized the 1970s. Two inventors combined their knowledge to present the technology for this wonder, and we can tell you how they work. Simply enough, the accessories are just liquid crystals mixed with quartz stones.

The Brunswick corporation produced the Mineralite Ball later in 1914. The ball, known for its “mysterious rubber compound”, became very popular. During this age in bowling, bowlers never had any worry about what type of bowling balls or lane surfaces that they used. In the 1970s more bowlers started using rubber balls. The rubber provided them a low surface friction coverstock that produced slightly more surface friction than a regular polyester bowling ball. When drilled, the rubber produced a horrible smell because of the friction making heat on the drill bit. Inside the rubber balls no core design existed except light material fillers with an added weight block. Weight blocks provided drilling layouts for different styles of play. These
The first ball the players used was a soccer ball.Then James Naismith asked A.G. Spalding & Bros.
One of the funniest although interesting inventions I stumbled upon was, sliced bread! Bread was probably made about 12,000 years ago, by mixing grains and water. It was probably tough and was cooked by putting hot coals on it. It wasn’t until about 1912 that Fredrick Rohwedder had the idea to create a bred slicer. All the bakers he talked to complained that the loves would go stale. So Rohwedder created a wrapper. He went to a Bakery in Battle Creek Michigan; they loved his idea and started making pre-cut loves. (CBC4Kids: Sliced
Matthew Ring, a young teenager, was struggling with many depressing and anxious thoughts.After hiding these feelings for some time, he finally gathered the courage to tell his parents. This only allowed his family to recognize his anxious and depressive tendencies.his parents faced the questions of how social media would affect Matthew. Would it help him, or only make things worse? With 92 percent of teens going online every day, according to the Paw Research Center, Matthew used Instagram, the second most common social network site, to reach out to his peers. There he found that many other teens also struggle with the same depressive and anxious thoughts as him. Through making his account focused around supporting others in a positive way, Matthew shows his now over 6000 followers his message of hope.
In the 1900’s, inventors were very motivated to push their developments into society and make their creations known. Some popular innovations include the escalator, the very first radio receiver, teabags, the electric washing machine, refrigerators, disposable razors, the vacuum and the first synthetic plastic called BakeLite, used for packaging. All these products have become household items
These two non vibrating weighted balls are made of phthalate free ABS plastic which is non toxic. Furthermore, their length is 2 inches, circumference is 4.5 inches, width is 1.25 inches and total weight is 3.68 ounces.

Parker Brothers, the original creators of the Nerf brand, started in 1969. Reyn Guyer, a Minnesota-based toy invention company, came to Parker Brothers and introduced a new volleyball game. Parker Brothers decided to scrap the whole thing except the foam ball, creating the first Nerf product, the Nerf Ball. In 1970, the Nerf Ball started production and was introduced as the “the world's first official indoor ball”. Nerf is a slang word or the foam used in off-road racing. It’s marketing slogan says "Throw it indoors; you can't damage lamps or break windows. You can't hurt babies or old people.” Four million units were sold within the first year. The Nerf Ball had a four-inch diameter (102 Millimeters). Later, a larger version of the Nerf Ball
Throughout history many inventions were invented, but did not have a lasting use like the siege weapons of medieval times, they had there one use and when that uses was no longer needed the invention was replaced. However, many things we use and take for granted today were invented in the 20th century. The first invention to impact the country was the wright brothers’ invention the airplane in 1903, the second advancement in technology was from Fritz Harber in 1909 with the process of ammonia synthesis, the third and final invention was from Henry Ford in 1913 with the assembly line production process. These inventions may not have been looked at the time they were invented as something that would last forever and always be in use.
The worst invention would probably be a glass hammer. First of all, it does nothing. If you try to pound a nail into a block of wood, the hammer head breaks. If you try to hammer a piece of metal to make, for example, a weapon, the hammer does nothing and it breaks. This hammer has no value for a tool.
Sharing the fact that they have over 16 million members is meant to reinforce a favorable reputation. What it fails to mention, is that almost half of those 16 million members are only registered for the free trial, which does not permit them to communicate with paying subscribers. “Launched in 2001, the site now has more than 9 million registered members, with more than 3 million members joining in the past year alone.”(Sparknetworks, 2016). The advertisement also gives these desperate for love young adults a false sense of safety as it talks about meeting up with and staying out past 2 am with a possible soulmate. This is meant to evoke trust in its members even though ChristianMingle.com does not perform background checks of its members; this is only mentioned at the very bottom of the
Does Johann Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press belong in a list of The Top Five Inventions? I’d say so. His invention caused a spread of ideas from everyday people, scientist, mathematicians and adventurist. Without it many people still might not be able to read, books would rarely be published and who knows, maybe we would still think the sun revolves the earth.
The invention of electric and the light bulb is probably the best thing invented in my opinion. After those were invented science took off to another level of genius cars, computers, televisions, and all the things that we love and use on a daily basis that we probably never thought would have ever been invented and here we are in 2015 and everything known is made of science.
Sex is one of the most widely controversial topics in America. The subject comes up in multiple situations: dinner parties, coffee dates, even when someone is eavesdropping on a neighbor 's endeavors with his mistress. Nowadays, it seems as if horror stories about infidelity are more common than happy marriages. Cheating on a spouse is morally wrong, so why not make it easy and legalize the act of polygamy? Polygamy is defined as willfully and knowingly having more than one husband or wife. As unnatural as it seems, many successful people have been in multiple marriages at once. The founder of the Mormons, Joseph Smith Jr., had up to thirty-three wives, all ranging from the ages of fourteen to sixty. One of
Nevertheless, it is important to remember that some of the simplest things were invented by very smart people who have been forgotten by most people. Take for example, George Crum the inventor of potato chips. The tale of how Crum invented the chips is actually kind of funny since he actually invented them out of
Some males and females try to cash in by being greedy and choosing to get married for money; when they choose a partner that they can depend on for life. Most of victims are singers, self-employed businessmen/women, actresses, or elder rich singles. Although they may not be forced into the marriage, these wealthy persons are unaware of the ulterior motives of their partner. The effect of marrying only for love is the eventual unfold of the lies and deceits of the particular partner. Another effect is if that rich person loses their wealth, the outcome is all the same. Depending if the person lost wealth or the ‘victim’ finds out the true motive of the relationship they will most likely divorce this person and continue on their search for true love or money.
