Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi uThomas Edison wathola izindlela ezingu-2,000 zokwenza isibani ngaphandle kokusenza wena. UJames Dyson wakha ama-prototype angu-5,126 ngaphambi kokuthola impumelelo enkulu nge-dual cyclone vacuum cleaner yakhe. I-Apple yacishe yawa ngeminyaka yawo-1990 ngoba ama-PDA ayo e-Newton ne-Macintosh LC ayengakwazi ukuncintisana nemikhiqizo ye-Microsoft noma ye-IBM. Ukwehluleka komkhiqizo akuyona into okufanele ube namahloni ngayo noma uyifihle, kuyinto okufanele uyigubhe. Osomabhizinisi kumele baqhubeke nokuthatha izingozi ezinengqondo, ngezinye izikhathi ezihlulekayo, ukuze umphakathi ukwazi ukuthuthuka futhi uxazulule ezinye zezinkinga ezinkulu emhlabeni. Ubuhle bobungxowankulu ukuthi bukhuthaza ukuzama ngokusebenzisa ukuzama namaphutha, njengoba ezimweni eziningi akunakwenzeka ukubikezela ukuthi abathengi bazofunani.
Ikhono lokuthatha izingozi nokuphishekela imibono ehlanyayo ngokukhululeka yilona kuphela inqubo eholela ekusungulweni okusha okuphumelelayo. I-Museum of Failure eWashington, DC iqokomisa lesi simo esiyisisekelo ngokubonisa ukwehluleka okuningi kwebhizinisi, okunye ngaphambi kwesikhathi sabo, kanti okunye kwakungamaphutha emigqeni yemikhiqizo yezinkampani ezithile ezaziphumelele kakhulu. UReason ukhulume noJohanna Guttmann, omunye wabahleli bombukiso, ngokubaluleka kokwehluleka nokuthi ezinye izimboni, njengobuchwepheshe, zifunda kanjani kukho kangcono kunezinye. Nazi ezinye zemikhiqizo ekhangayo kakhulu eyethulwe embukisweni:
UMattel wethula uSkipper okokuqala, udadewabo omncane kaBarbie, ngo-1964. Kodwa ngawo-1970, inkampani yanquma ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuvumela uSkipper akhule. Inguqulo entsha kaSkipper ikhishwe, ngempela onodoli ababili kwelinye - yeka intengo ephansi! Kodwa into ekhona ukuthi, uma uphakamisa izingalo zikaSkipper, amabele akhe ayanda futhi aphakame. Kuvela ukuthi amantombazane amancane (nabazali bawo) abanasithakazelo sokuba nodoli osemusha nomdala. Kodwa-ke, uSkipper wabonakala kafushane ku-movie kaBarbie endlini yezihlahla abelana ngayo noMickey (uBarbie okhulelwe futhi nethoyizi elihlulekile).
I-Walkman yashintsha indlela esilalela ngayo umculo ohambweni ngawo-1980. Ngo-1983, i-Audio Technica yethula isidlali esiphathwayo se-AT-727 Sound Burger. Ungalalela amarekhodi noma kuphi, kodwa ngokungafani ne-Walkman, i-Soundburger kumele ilale phansi ukuze idlale, ukuze ungakwazi ukuhambahamba nayo. Ingasaphathwa eyokuthi inkulu futhi ayivikeli amarekhodi akho avulekile. Kodwa inkampani yasinda futhi manje ikhiqiza isidlali se-Bluetooth esiphathwayo sama-phlegmatophiles.
Isihlalo saseHawaii (esaziwa nangokuthi isihlalo se-hula), esibhalwe njengenye ye-"50 Worst Inventions" kamagazini i-Time ngo-2010, senzelwe ukuqinisa isisu sakho ngesikhathi somsebenzi wakho we-9 kuya ku-5. Ukunyakaza okujikelezayo kwesisekelo sesihlalo kuklanyelwe... "ukukuyisa" endaweni ethule ngenkathi ugcina umhlane wakho uphumule. Kodwa lo muzwa usondele ekundizeni endizeni ephithizelayo. Manje kunanini ngaphambili, kubalulekile ukuthi abasebenzi bahambe phakathi nosuku lomsebenzi, kodwa amadeski okuma noma ngisho namacansi okuhamba awaphazamisi kakhulu (futhi awusizo kakhulu) endaweni yokusebenza.
Ngo-2013, i-Google yakhipha izibuko ezihlakaniphile ezinamakhamera akhelwe ngaphakathi, ukulawula izwi kanye nesikrini esishintshayo. Abanye abathandi bezobuchwepheshe bazimisele ukusebenzisa u-$1,500 ukuhlola umkhiqizo, kodwa kukhona ukukhathazeka okukhulu ngobumfihlo mayelana nokuthi umkhiqizo ulandela ini. Kodwa-ke, i-Google Glass entsha esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-augmented reality isathuthukiswa, ngakho-ke ake sithembe ukuthi lo mkhiqizo ngeke ubhekane nesiphetho esifanayo.
