Detailed Test;
The type of test that I’m going to be doing is on how well the ball point pen actually does work and weather if people prefer using it or not. I will have 9 people taking the test. I will be making them use a ball point pen. The pen that they will be using will be the same kind. Then they are to decide and tell me which they prefer using a regular pen or a ball point pen. These are the questions they will be answering:
1. Which one do you think is easier to use? Ball point pen or just a normal pen?
2. Do you use ball point pens regularly?
3. Do you own a ball point pen?
4. If you do then tell us what are the bad things about it.
This will be a simple test that would only take between 5 to 10 minutes. Although it may be a short test this will give me an idea on weather a ball point pen is popular amongst our ages and up. The people I will be asking are 4 boys and 5 girls. They will also differ by where the come from. So, for the guy I will survey one Korean, one Ghanaian, a Russian and a Mongolian. For the girl I will be surveying one Korean, a Mongolian, a German, one USA and one Lithuanian. The list that I chose here differ because then I will be able to get different culture preferences. The survey sheet will be made and printed out before.
Poster test;
1. Is is neat?
2. Is it clear?
3. Does it have the basic and important information?
The unit question: How do inventors come up with ideas and create their inventions?
Inventors come up with the idea after their years of experience with the things they use. For example the ball point pen. Just a random journalist got tired of working with ink pens that dried quickly and did not turn out neat. Then he decided to invent a pen that is efficient and that does not smudge. So, then he started to work out a way to invent it. He got the idea and made his first design and started to sell them. So, the ideas just doesn’t pop in a persons head “just like that” but it comes to mind when it needs improvement. They create their inventions with the help of other people and also create it by using the things around them.
Although sometimes inventors may come up with the ideas by researching them. Becoming an inventor is not an easy job. You have to do your research and survey people to see weather it is needed or not. Researching is not an easy job to do, you have to look up at all the consequences of it and weather it is profitable or not. If its not then you just wasted you time and money.
Creating Ones invention is not that hard but coming up with the design may be, in order to creates something that no one had ever seen or had is tough. You need to be creative but also realistic.
