We do not argue, zero-transportation and medicine from old age will become awesome inventions, and we all wait for them. But the world has changed and smaller things.
Shopping bag
Walter Debner, the owner of a vegetable shop in Mneshesota, just wanted to stimulate sales. The volume of purchases was limited to the bag with which the buyer came. He would have bought some of this carrot and sheltered potatoes, but it's good to carry it home. And Defan began selling in addition to vegetables, simple cheap bags on the shoulder. He knew or not, but Debner, in essence, invented the modern concept of shopping - we go to the store, not knowing yet, we will buy something, and we can go to themselves, without planning it in advance.
Two-layer toilet paper
The novelty published the market in the UK in the harsh military 1942. Two layers made it possible to use very thin paper that conquered, well, let's say, the hearts of the whole world.
Disposable bags for liquids
Thanks to the inventors of Yely Kaplan and Harounta Ross. Until 1955, people did not know where to give small portions of liquids. If not they would have to have their own food delivered to the house, without ketchup and mayonnaise. And this is drama.
Space between words
In the Middle Ages, books were predominantly religious, and they read them out loud specially trained people. The lack of spaces did not interfere with trained people, and even more listeners. So we would write if Christ did not get to the Emerald Island. Tell me thanks to the uncomfortable Irish copist monks. Religious books were written in Latin, and among themselves these guys talked to Irish (while the rest of the educated Europe chatted again on Latin). Because of this, the readers were difficult to disassemble words written without spaces. If they are not, it is necessary for it.
Alarm clock
We hate it, but not to insulate the Frenchman Antooman of Radin this hello typewriter in 1847, there would be no PICS.RU - the editors would succeed in full. Mechanical alarm clocks moved into the past only at the end of the twentieth century, but the idea herself survived them by moving into smartphones.
Sanskrin
Nothing amazing that cream protecting the skin from the sun was invented in Australia. Chemist Milton Blake experimented for a long time with different filters, but then, in the 1930s, the result was still a bitten and little suitable for daily use. The Blake's formula has been finalized, which have released a cream on sale in 1944. Sanskrin allowed us how much to hang out in the fresh air without risk to burn out and saved millions of lives - ultraviolet causes not only burns, but also cancer.
Curved drain pipe
Ploy to the toilet and see the genius invention - the U-shaped pipe. She isolates everything you wash off. Before Thomas Crapper developed this thing at the end of the XIX century, the toilet Ambre was felt all over the house, and the ladies in the tourno interrupted this stench in their living rooms, splashing cologne and ordering a flower hawk. So lived, surrounded by a mixture of roses and sewage fragrances.
Razor
Until 1905, the razor was a full-fledged murder gun. But King Jillett thought of a bilateral safe razor - she Brila was clean, did not cut the skin and did not require any special skills. And it started - the shaved chin went into fashion, the bells of the skirts crawled up, the unemployed valves scattered across countries and continents and went to the bandits.
Suitcase on wheels
We do not know how the fiber on vacation is all 23 kilograms of dresses, shoes and shampoos, if in 1970, someone Bernard Salou did not darned to drag the suitcase to the reception and did not envy the airport's loader, which was careless pushing a loaded cart. And they did not combine these two phenomena in his creative head. Sadou patented the suitcase on the wheels and sold the idea of the Macy's department store. It is even strange to think how much freedom and independence gave us four little wheels.
Stickers reminders
Like many steep inventions, stickers have become the result of an epic failure. Chemist Spencer Silver tried to develop reliable glue, and a complete garbage turned out, which was barely pitched and dug away, not leaving the trace. Spencer was terribly upset, but a colleague, who spinning nearby, was delighted, and built a bookmark from a piece of paper and rejected glue, which will not fall out of the book and not staining pages.
Patch
Josephine Dickson, a young housewife from the 1920s, was a walking misfortune. She was cut every day, he was burned, trying to establish life. And every evening, Her husband Earl helped her put the housewife injury by a piece of cotton wool glued to the tape. Soon it was tired of him and he began to make ready-made dressings ready for a young wife. And then I sold this idea to my boss at all - the director of Johnson & Johnson.
