Dumb Inventions


The 20th century saw many astounding technological innovations. The automobile revolutionized the way people live and work, the internet changed the way people think about information, and the USA put a man on the moon.

But some technological advances that came in the earlier part of the 20th centry weren't exactly meant for the history books. Because they were stupid.

Cute, but the "laryngaphone" (properly spelled laryngophone) is a positively useful invention -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngophone

The TV glasses remind me of virtual reality viewer thingys.
