Each spring, we dig through the depths of our closets and struggle to find the last surviving $5 umbrella we bought in desperation from a man on the street the last time we were caught in a downpour. We dare not get too attached, for we know that this umbrella is not long for this world. It too shall break and be hastily discarded with a lengthy cursing tirade on a crowded street corner.
Umbrellas have been around for 3,000 years, and the basic design hasn't changed in almost as long. It's a tube with some fabric propped up on the top. Why are they still so horribly manufactured?
