(A)
In the past twenty years, although some inventions didn’t change the world, they are very creative. Here are four of them and they show how fun creativity can be!
Milk Clothing
Have you ever thought: Can milk make clothes? A German designer, Anke Domaske, wondered the same. In 2011, she created QMilch, which is a special fabric(布料) from milk! Here’s how it works. First, dry milk until it turns into powder. Then, heat the powder. It becomes long, soft threads—like silk, and these threads make clothes that feel nice on skin. QMilch uses no harmful chemicals and keeps you cool in summer. According to Anke, one dress only needs about six liters of milk.
Selfie Toast
Plain toast is boring. In 2014, a US company made a special toaster. When you put your photo into the toaster, a metal plate burns your face onto the toast—even your smile! Then you will have crispy toast with your face. People love taking photos of their “selfie toast” and sharing them on social media. It is a silly but happy way to start the morning and make friends laugh!
Necomimi
In 2011, Japanese inventors made Necomimi—cat ears that move with your mind! First, a small device on your head reads your brain signals. When you think hard like solving a maths problem, the ears stand up straight. When you relax like taking a nap, the ears drop down slowly. It is a cool new way to play with technology when you can use your mind to move the ears. No wonder these cute ears are popular with people. You can still buy Necomimi in Japan for about £90. It is not cheap, but fans say it is worth it to feel like a cat!
Tomatan
Do you want a robot to feed you tomatoes? A Japanese juice company made Tomatan, a big toy-like robot with a long, flexible arm. The robot can feed you tomatoes when you run—like in a marathon, so you don’t have to stop moving. However, Tomatan is just a prototype. The designers made it to see if the idea works. They are still working on it, making small changes to make it better. Although you can’t buy it in stores now, the designers say it is already a success, for it made more people talk about tomatoes and laugh at the funny idea.
All these inventions are strange, but they are also clever. They show that even small, strange ideas can make people smile—and that’s what creativity is about!
