Would anyone besides you want to have this gadget to do the task you invented it for? Explain how you know that a market does or does not exist for this invention.

Is there any other potential use-harmful or beneficial-for this invention?

Use the textbook or other academic resources to substantiate your ideas about the benefits and potential harm associated with your invention and to give credibility to your thoughts on its marketability.

Use at least two in-text citations to the course text or other academic reference.

The essay should be about 2-3 pages in length, plus it must have a title page and a reference page.
