Undoubtedly some of the inventions made a revolution and gave a lot of ease to human beings. For example Edison invented the bulb and illuminated the dark world.

Here are inventions which are giving ease to all of us and surely the inventors are making a lot of money.

1. Pet Rock

You can’t invent a rock, but the mad inventor Gary Dahl who was an advertiser of California, thought it over to decorate and sell rocks in this way that sell like hotcakes.

He was a creative minded person, so he bought ordinary and cheap gray pebbles from a construction company and sold them as pets, attached with painted models' faces. Surely it was good marketing, not anything extraordinary. It is a pet, which does not need to be fed or cleaned.

It is interesting that the buyer could talk to it, name it and teach it fishy tricks. Most of them are outlined in a joyful manner included with the pet. A lot of buyers painted themselves in their own way to make it personal. 

Originally the price of Pet Rocks was $3.95 but due to its high demand it is now selling at $16. You will be surprised to know that the creator Dahl has sold these rocks more than 5 millions in only six months. He earned $56 million up till now. There is a facility that you may buy them on the internet.

2. Tamagotchi

This is also a pet which is very much on sale nowadays on this planet, which became at its peak at the end of 20th century. This is a small, egg-typed device having a black & white LCD screen and a honking animal kept inside. The Japanese toy maker Bandai first introduced this device to the market.

How it works

When you turn the Tamagotchi on and allot a name to it, then feed your given name by buttons of the device. The animal will play games and will become sleepy when it is tired. It is designed to make a copy of a real pet such as a dog & cat. 

If you take care of Tamagotchi nicely, it will change its versions. The pet required continuous care otherwise it may “die”. To start it once again, you have to reset it. When it came into the market it sold nearly 70 million. They sell one Tamagotchi/ second, making the creator a millionaire.

3. The Singing Fish

This is an electronic fish like Rocky Rainbow Trout, which starts singing when you go closer to it. The appearance is just like a fish which may be mounted on a wooden board, and then the board may be mounted on the wall. The activation starts when you push a button, a sensor activates the fish and it starts singing, when any unknown person comes near it.

The device was created by a toy company in Texas. The buyers liked it warmly, and the sale went up high, so it became a great success for its company. In the starting year the singing fish sell about a million.
