How do you invent stuff? I build a lot of things that already have been done before, and I want to build something totally new. Something no one else has done before. It doesn't have to be some world changing thing, just something that will really impress people.

Think of something you know that fucks you up or that fucks somebody up. Use your knowledge to build something that stop this.

This. Find a need, and then build something to fill that need. That is how I do it. I've come up with some ingenious stuff that suits my needs perfectly. I've never tried patenting anything or marketing any of it though.

To be honest, the number of "low hanging fruits" in science and tech are very few these days.

You can combine things into a package (like they did with smartphones) but it's going to be impossible, at least for a single person, to come up with something 100% original and new.

Patents are a waste nowadays anyway, unless you're a global corporation that can use the leverage against individuals
If you decide to try and sell something, your goal should be publicity and speed. Be the first to bring it to market, get it known as "your" product under the name you came up with and the ones you make are the real/authentic ones. Because China is going to make them too, there's nothing you can do about it, but if you're a month ahead of them and everyone uses your trademarked name to refer to it you're still set.

Nah... one of a kind my man!

I was honestly looking for something like this available on the market ready to throw out some coin to purchase one, and couldn't find anything at all... So fuck it, I built one instead!

Start by improving things that already exist and you'll end up inventing a few things along the way.
