20 Ingenious Inventions That Humanity Will Forever Be Grateful For

The whole point of innovation is creating things that don’t exist anywhere else or taking an existing feature and bringing it into new dimensions. That’s why so many people, once they’ve created their product, try to get it patented so that nobody else can use the same design or technology. In some cases, though, it’s not big companies that create these products, but also everyday people who do it just for fun.

Now I’ve Seen Everything is amazed at how creative and innovative people can be and still manage to create things that are very rare to find around the world.
