american inventor
Did you get a chance to check out the new show from Simon called American Inventor? It’s in a format similar to the American Idol show. People parade before the judges. They have a couple minutes to impress them that their invention is the American Invention. Obviously, not every invention is shown and I imagine that the show deliberately shows some of the more ridiculous inventions in an effort to pique the audience’s interest with “I can do better than that” type of thoughts. It’s nice to see a few of the ones that ALMOST made it. But it’s also nice to see a couple of inventions that did make it and still leave you thinking, “I can do better than that”.It’s sad to see some of the contestants that have spent a small fortune on an idea that will never see the light of day. It’s even sadder when some of these people have wasted some of their most precious resources, like the relationships they had with their families. David O. McKay once said, “No success can compensate for failure in the home.” These people are fighting a losing proposition once they sacrifice their family on the altar of personal ambition. Even if they go on to found a multi-billion dollar enterprise, it won’t matter. They would be better off simply giving the idea away to some party who would have interest in the idea and cutting their losses.
Still, it would be cool to see how far your concept could go. Maybe I will have to put together a prototype or concept model of my toy vault and see if it’s American Invention worthy.
