'Innovation during Recession'

Recession comes as a vicious Cycle and impacts one and all after every few Years. It is hard to survive during those Times and our normal Life gets disrupted hugely. But, there are few who take this temporary setback as an Opportunity and do some Things which are not only surprising but are also Future Remedies for various problems. Basically, they start innovating.

I will tell you about some Innovations which have been done by people like you and me and hold immense promise for Future Growth:

1) Pencil Maker: A Chinese trio has invented a Pencil-making Machine. The speciality of this Machine is that it turns our Waste Papers into Pencils!!! You insert the Wastepaper into a slot. The Paper goes inside, gets rolled and compressed. the Machine then inserts a piece of Lead and puts some amount of Glue and voila.... a Pencil slides out. Isn't it amazing?














2) Flying Suit: Did you ever want to Fly in the open Sky, without any support? Just like a Bird..... A Connecticut-based Inventor has come up with an Idea of a Flying Suit or a Bat Suit. It is modelled as per the Bat's Style of Flying. It consists of a Pair of Strap-on Batlike Wings. Once you Wear it, you can Fly like a Bird (after some Training, ofcourse).


3) Eco-friendly fireworks: a Shanghai-based Local Fireworks Company has come out with a new Type of "Green" Fireworks to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year. The Fireworks will have less Sulfur Dioxide being emitted. The Gas is not only harmful for Health but also forms Sulphuric Acid which causes Acid Rain. Think India must learn from the Idea, as we are the largest users of Fireworks in the World.

4) Mind-Reading Shopping Cart: A Smart Shopping Cart is undergoing Tests to enhance our Shopping Experience. It works like this: 
The Shopper needs to first Text-Message to the Cart's built-in Tablet Computer about his/her Shopping List. The Cart uses its Technology to Track and follow the Shopper through the Store. It points towards Products on the Shelf as per the List. It warns one if he/she has taken something Extra. Also, it scans the Items automatically and one can even skip the Checkout Line after settling the Bill Online.

5) Forever "Clean" Shirt: This Shirt has a built-in Hydrophobic Nanotechnology in the Fabric which helps avoid Water-based Liquids by rolling them off. Thus, it avoids Stains formed through Drinks and Sweat. 

The above are just some of the Ideas which came in the Minds of Common People and are sure to bring in a Revolution. Recession or not, nothing can stop an Idea whose time has come.
