Necessity is the mother of invention. Someone must have needed it for it to be invented. Velcro, uniforms, larger refrigerator doors to hold gallon sized milk containers, diapers, specialized shoes, but bras??? Automobiles and its extension of needs, like fuel and freeways, have done a lot of damage to the entire world and probably shouldn't have been invented.
But a random invention means it happened with no forethought. That would be silly putty. Or there is penicillin, a complete mistake that was a miracle cure for so many people. Do a search on wikepedia to research those.

Totally mad...
The Incy-Wincy Spider Liberator
Patent : GB2272154 Date : 1994
Inventor: Doughney Edward Thomas Patrick
We all know that feeling of great sadness when we find a dead spider floating beside the rubber duck in our bathwater. We would, of course, much rather it hadn’t meet it’s gruesome end in the bath and was roaming free, enjoying the good life and sharing our cosy bed. Well, now we can do something to stop these lovable little creatures from becoming trapped in our baths by installing the ‘Spider Ladder. With this device installed any spider that happens to fall into the bath it will look around, see the ladder and climb safely to freedom. The spiders of the world will love you for fitting this one.

The randomizer. This is a device that people use to select a mate. It helps to explain why the divorce rate has gone through the roof in recent years.

The toilet snorkel. HANDS DOWN. It was an actual patent. It was to be used in high rise buildings during a fire. You could stick the toilet snorkel down the toilet and breathe air from the sewer system so you would not suffocate from the smoke.

read Connections by James Burke. it tells how totally unrelated inventions were brought together by an ingenious person to make something we all use today.

Your spelling. Everyday is one word. Baffling looks like this. You can't say 1 of two things. It's one of two things. Totally has one t.
You begin a sentence with a capital letter. There is no comma between baffling or an invention............Good question though if you mean I wonder why it was invented and for what purpose. I can't think of any..
