Mini Burgers and Soccer Robots, All More Fun than a Mini Dow Jones

— October 8, 2008 — Top Lists
Tiny soccer robots and mini burgers are simply more fun than a tiny Dow Jones.  In all fairness, the Dow Jones still isn't tiny, but it is shrinking: just like these little concepts, gadgets and works of art.

Accordingly, this list caters to all things miniature.  So if you need to stop thinking about AIG, Wachovia, Dow Jones and everything depressing, check out this list of little inspirations.

Implications - These tiny artifacts rebel against the mentality that bigger is better in contemporary society. Going against the popular grain helps companies gain recognition amongst consumers as this gives individuals alternative options. Companies should consider how the opposite of fashionable items has potential for profitability.
