Why The Inventor Of The Trendy Fidget Spinner Hasn't Earned a Penny
#Before listening:
- Do you have a Fidget Spinner? Do you think its inventor is now a rich and wealthy person?
#Listening: Listen to the text carefully and answer these questions:
- Are kids the only ones interested in the hot new toy?
- Are blue and red the only available colors?
- Does the spinner do anything but spin?
- How much does it cost?
- Is Catherine Hettinger a chemical engineer?
- Why did she give up trying to get her toy manufactured and distributed?
- Is she upset for the fortune she isn’t making?
#After listening:
- ‘It costs practically nothing to renew the patent’ says Kevin O'leary. Is it fair what he says? Do you think anyone can afford the $400 patent? Are his ideas classist?
- What lesson can we learn from O’leary’s ideas and from Hettinger’s thoughts now that anyone can play with her toy?
