Once in a while, a“silly” idea may appear.Of the four real inventions below, which do you think will disappear? And which would you like to have? Fish on Wheels Common fish tanks(鱼缸) just sit in one place. That's a huge problem for a pet fish that wants to see the world ( or at least the other rooms). This invention gives fish the freedom to roam(漫游). A fish tank sits on top of a robotic car. A camera watches the fish, and the car drives in the same direction as the fish swims! IllumiBowl Getting up at night to go to the washing room can be risky. Turn on the light, and it might blind you. Wouldn't it be great if the toilet sensed your movement and then gave out soft light? That's the idea behind IllumiBowl! The Ostrichpillow(鸵鸟枕) Your eyes are heavy in the study hall, but the hard desk isn't comfortable. And the room is crowded. It's too bad that you don't have a pillow. This invention fits over the whole head—— with a breathing hole around the nose and mouth!
