She found one in their house. She researched what it was and found out the legend of the dragon balls. She analyzed the dragon ball she had with all the tech instruments she could think of and that she probably had lying around in her house and found out that the Dragon Ball emits a certain kind of wave or radiation or something like that that can be picked up, since her instruments picked up on that. She then proceeded to build a specialized device in picking up that specific signal in order to find out the other Dragon Balls to get a wish.
In the past, there simply wasn't technology capable of analyzing the Dragon Ball and discovering the signal they emit. And once that signal was discovered, its simply a matter of building a device specialized in picking put that signal and finding the rest of them.
Dr. Gero probably did the same, but he wasn't able to create a specialized device as accurate and as small as the Dragon radar Bulma created. She is a genius after all.

He said that he created them in order to give hope to mankind.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
