Why Didn't I Think of That?: 101 Inventions that Changed the World by Hardly Trying [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This book proves not all successful inventions are the greatest thing since sliced bread (not even sliced bread, which is literally just a pre-cut loaf for lazy loafs). This humorous guide to mind-blowing inventions deconstructs just how complex these can't-live-without necessities really are, while providing some insightful(ly funny) lessons to future inventors, such as:Yo-yos: Deadly weapons do make great kids' toys.Soccer: Boredom is the stepmother of invention.Bottled water: There is no such thing as a stupid idea.Complete with useful trivia--like the fact that 100 trillion paperclips have been sold--readers will be able to impress their friends by hardly trying.
