After perusing the Web searching for anything intriguing regarding travel, I came across a few products pertaining to travel that were so wrong for being invented they needed a list. Here are just a few of what I found. Feel free to add any more that you may know of or have encountered in the commentary below.
Enjoy!
A laptop desk for your steering wheel? Really?
Yes, you read it right. Someone actually came up with the brilliantly dangerous idea of creating a laptop desk for your car! If you thought texting was bad, apparently, you thought wrong. Now we’ve got bloggers, social media addicts and Internet browsing junkies to worry about. This awesome mini table hooks onto your steering wheel of all places, thus creating a great convenience to those who would like to be distracted while on the road (you can blog, play a PC game, heck you can even do crossword puzzles!). Thanks brilliant
Cyberguys!
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's super shades!
Watch movies and videos; listen to music;
and play video games all via shades. This may sound awesome – and it would be great for flights and road trip passengers – but honestly, who’s going to only confine the usage of these glasses to appropriate times and spaces? (Besides us responsible ones, right?) These shades are just begging for trouble.
Now you see it!
Now you don't!
So let me get this straight: the Stashcard is a little hollow, metal card that can hold cash, cards and any other little valuable thing you wish to stash (pun intended; teehee, I couldn’t help it). Now guess where you stash this Stashcard (last one, I promise)…how about it hides in your laptop…I don’t know about you, but this doesn’t seem as safe as it should be. This means that if your laptop gets stolen, then everything you kept in that Stashcard (i.e. credit cards, emergency cash, driver’s license, social security card and the like) will be gone and in the lucky hands of your new doppelganger. Nice.
Wind it Up!
So you’re phone is dead and you’re a ways away from anywhere with a power outlet. What now? It’s time to wind it up! As long as you have a working hand you’re phone will never go uncharged. I do have one question though: once you’ve worked your biceps into submission cranking this thing up and your phone is finally somewhat charged (the most you can get out of it is 30 minutes of call time, less luck if you have a smart phone, I'm sure)…what do you do if you are a ways away from any indication of a signal as well? Just a thought… (other than that...this is actually not a bad invention (shrug)).
And that's all I've got so far. Let me know what you think of these products and feel free to add any more that you may know about.
