Useful inventions and initiatives to solve pressing problems.
We live in the era of smart gadgets that are able to analyze our activity and habits, but sometimes new technologies and solutions are lacking in the simplest everyday tasks. Here are some examples of how rudimentary innovations can solve problems that you probably also faced.
1. Furniture fittings are sorted not by type, but by furniture assembly steps. Why doesn't everyone do that?
2. This elasticated sheet has tags indicating where the sides are, and where are the top or bottom.
3. The park bench is set on rails so that it can be moved into the shade all day long.
4. In Singapore, seniors have access to a special card that can be used to increase the green signal time of a traffic light in order not to rush across the road.
5. USB stick with fill scale. You can find out the approximate amount of free memory without even plugging it into the USB port.
6. A special piece of cloth for wiping glasses on the inside of the shirt. Is it convenient?
7. A jar for pills with a timer on the lid that resets to zero each time you open it. This way you can always find out how much time has passed since the moment of taking the medication.
8. A spatula with a miniature metal foot that allows you to freely place it on the table, even while cooking.
9. The plastic wrap of this roller also serves as a paint tray.
10. Chess for beginners with an indication of the direction of movement of the pieces.
11. Elevator call buttons at foot level so that they can be easily pressed with the foot. More than ever relevant during a pandemic.
12. Better yet, a pedal for flushing a toilet in a public toilet.
13. Two separate dressing rooms in the office for smokers and nonsmokers, so that the latter's clothes do not smell of tobacco smoke.
14. There are two types of baskets in the store: take a pink one for a consultant to come to you, or a black one if you can do it yourself.
15. Bicycle parking that protects the bike seat from the rain. Ingenious, simple and relevant for bike rental services.
16. Another elementary miracle from Norway is a miniature bike lift. It helps to enter the mountain - you just need to rest on the platform with one foot.
17. A special ramp will help cyclists on the steps - even easier and cheaper.
18. And finally, a suitcase that can measure its own weight - the technology we need.
