Ubuchwepheshe bamuva buzitholela ngokuphelele ukuphila kwabantu. Abantu abasha bacabangela izinsuku ngaphambi kokukhululwa kwegajethi entsha, izincwadi zamaphepha zinikeza indlela yokusebenzisa i-elekthronikhi, futhi ekhishini ukuze umsizi wesifazane uhlale ekulungiselela isidlo sakusihlwa futhi uyogeza ngisho nezitsha zomsebenzi ojwayelekile wendlu.
Yebo, ukuthuthukiswa okusheshayo kwezinto zendlu kwenza impilo yethu ikhululeke futhi ibe lula. Cabanga nje, uma besibhala namuhla iphepha lokuphothula iziqu zamandla okuqala angu-1868 amaSholes noma amafemu e-Glidden, bekungeke kube khona indawo eminwe ngaphandle kwama-calluses!

Kodwa, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungase kuzwakale kanjani ukuthi i-paradoxical, kukhona namanje izinto ezimbalwa, okwenziwe ubulili ngisho nokuphila kweminyaka yobudala akuzange kufike engqondweni yomuntu noma ubani ukuba aphucule!
1. I-air-bubble ifilimu
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1950, ifilimu ye-polyethylene eqhutshwa emoyeni yasungulwa imizamo yabanjiniyela u-Alfred Fielding noMark Chavannes, okwamanje okwenza abantu babe yizinhlobo ezingavamile kakhulu zokuzijabulisa nokuzijabulisa!

Ngo-1870, beza nomklamo wocingo oluhlanganisa izinsika ezikude futhi ucingo lwasigxila ngamameva ahlabayo. Uqagele ukuthi abashicileli be-savvy bavele bagubha ngokushesha ukuthola i-patent, kodwa ukusungulwa kwabo sekukhishwe kushintshiwe!
3. Itiyiphu yokwenza itiye
Abavubukuli baqinisekisa ukuthi izitsha zokuqala zesimiso esiphakeme saseMpumalanga - ukuphuza amaqabunga etiye kwavela ngesikhathi sobukhosi buka-Yuan ngo-1279. Lesi sakhi senziwe ngobumba, sidalwe ngokukhethekile ukuba siphuze umuntu oyedwa futhi, ngokufanele, sisebenzise umuntu oyedwa - esiphuza isiphuzo esinomsoco esivela ku-spout ekhululekile.
Emashalofini ezitolo zanamuhla, ungathola amakhulu ezinhlobonhlobo zama-teapots - kusuka kumklami we-porcelain kanye ne-toy plastic, kodwa ... Okumangalisa ukuthi ukuma kwawo kwangempela kanye nomklamo ophelele, oqukethe isibambo, isembozo nesipuli akusishintshiwe kusukela ngaleso sikhathi!
4. Isiqeshana sephepha
Iziqeshana zezincwadi ezenziwe ngocingo omuhle ziye zathola ukuguqulwa kwamanani - zaziyizilinganiso eziyisithupha, zifana namaphiko, ama-pretzels nezinhliziyo, kodwa zigcwalise njalo umsebenzi owodwa - ukubamba amakhasi amaningana.

6. I-Mousetrap
Akunandaba - namuhla noma amakhulu eminyaka edlule, kodwa uma igundane livela endlini, kufanele lilahlwe ngokushesha.
