(1/23/2015) For many travelers, Skymall magazine used to be the stuff people read when they forget to bring some books to read during the flight. For me, Skymall magazine is the source of many crazily customized tool and gadgets and useless one-function-dedicated innovations (like "a Darth Vader toaster or a paper towel holder with USB ports"). However, just after two years that on-board Wi-Fi are available on commercial plane, this magazine says goodbye to flyers and files bankruptcy. It is an end of an era.
For those who will miss the crazy invention on Skymall, this is your last chance to review "top 10 innovations that we never need.' I do think their demo room should become a public museum.

Useless Invention Coming back
(1/17/2015) Selfie stick is one of the most popular new devices in 2015 CES due to the popularity of mobile devices. There is even a booth selling various type of selfie sticks (see picture below). However, this type of product was invented early in the early 1990's and was voted as one of the most useless product in 1995. If you are old enough, you probably remember Apple's Newton (launched in 1991) handheld device that failed. There were really born in the wrong time (ηδΈι’ζ), right?
