Hindsight might be 20/20 but that won't help you until it's too late . . .

You might be familiar with one Eureka! moment, but that's not the only bathtub brainwave out there. Sometimes inventions are the result of just stumbling into a good idea--imagine trying to save people from malaria and inventing a new shade of purple instead. And sometimes ideas are better left on the drawing board, like an instant haircutter that also helpfully burns your hair off, or a trashcan that is also a food-storage container, cheese grater, and flytrap all in one. There are countless inventions that never quite took off, like a bicycle geared to travel at the speed of light. And then there's the Canadian inventor who discovered how to fly without wings or a balloon. But if you're looking for openings in the market, don't bother building a better mousetrap--there are more mousetrap patent categories than there are successful mousetrap designs.
