Inventions that do, might and probably don’t work:
- I wish I’d known about this
service before I’d start freakin’ ripping my CDs. It’s a great idea, but
about two years too late. - This is exceptional thinking
from some guys in Quebec. Nobody ever wants to be a goalie when you’re playing
shinny or floor hockey, so you end up shooting at a milk crate or something.
It’s a bit pricey, but I could see rinks and rec centre buying a couple. - Dry-clean your clothes at
home? If The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe were a sci-fi novel,
this would be the wardrobe. - Forget about fuel cells…just stay outside with this
jacket. - This
freaks me out. I mean, I’m sure it doesn’t work, but we live in a world
where someday, something like it might.
Bonus link: I spotted most of the techno-gadgets that I write about on Gizmodo, the royal scribes of emerging consumer technology.
