Top Three Innovations & The Lowest Three Innovations

The latest bizarre techs have released some ideas for new innovations. The innovations vary in their targeted audiences. Based on the trends and necessities of today’s world, the innovations were ranked by the top three and the lowest three. The top three are devices that people believe will thrive and be very useful; the lowest three are devices that people feel should be reexamined.

The number one pick: A photovoltaic allows someone to charge their phone in the sun or even indoors via ambient light. Many would agree that this would be one of the greater inventions because of the world’s dependency on technology. A photovoltaic allows people to charge their phone without the hassle of remembering to bring your charger.

The Olloclip is the iPhone photographer's dream gadget. The device is a quick-connect lens for the iPhone and iPod touch that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one. The thought process behind this innovation was impeccable. Many photographs do not always wish to lug around all their equipment but with this handy little lens, they’ll have a professional camera in seconds. Many people would argue that it only being available for the iPhone is not good for business, but in fact, there is a large number of people who have iPhones which still merit great sells.    

The water-resistant Ascend D2 smartphone is self-explanatory. There are numerous times people drop their phone in a substance and have to buy a new device. The device would sell high with different audiences making it a great sell. The device could sell well with people who enjoy being underwater and like to take pictures or people who are prone to dropping their phone in water.

After looking at the list, the remainders were believed to be the bottom three of the innovations. Fujitsu's Generation walking stick would be the top of the bottom three simply because it targets only the older audience. The problem with targeting the older audience is that they are not tech-savvy so they won’t like using the device. The stick also tracks and monitors where the person is which could cause the buyer to feel an invasion of privacy, which may cause them to shy away from buying it.

YotaPhone features both a color touch screen and a screen using low-power monochome e-ink. While the phone does allow for its owner to use to different screens, it isn’t necessary. Having two screens when you can only view one screen at a time is an unnecessary amenity. A user will pay an excessive amount of money for two screens, when they’ll only be able to use one screen. An improvement might be if the phone had two screens that were able to be used simultaneously by two different people.

The lowest ranking innovation of all twenty-two had to be Spheron's robotic balls. While the robotic balls can be controlled by Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices they don’t serve a primary purpose. They weren’t invented for a direct purpose which will have some effect on their ability to sell.
