Good Inventions or Bad Ideas?

04/12/25 • 18 min

Grandma's Been There

When I was little, we fantasized about a future when robots would do the housework and meals would be prepared with the push of a button. While we waited for those days to come, we marveled at every new invention that came our way. Some impressed us more than others. There were a few that we thought might be better off going back to the drawing board. Were they good inventions or bad ideas?
