Innovation is great, and thanks to innovation we have countless useful things at hand, just because someone had an idea, took a risk, and got the job done. But sometimes innovation doesn’t follow a logical progression.
These gadgets are genius and absurd at the same time. Most of them are meant to make life easier but wound up complicating things instead. That, and making you look extremely silly.
Some of these inventions were ahead of their time and others maybe should’ve stayed as prototypes. But let this be your reminder to keep thinking outside the box, you never know when one of these could come in handy.
