Daily Innovations - 1

This is the first post in a series where I highlight everyday innovations. What I mean with that, is innovations of things which in my opinion was finished already.

This is just my personal opinions, other people probably think these are obvious and not at all that interesting. But I found them interesting enough to write a blog post about.

There are a few criterias I have for what I feel is “everyday innovations”

  • It should be an everyday item, not something super specialised.
  • It should improve on something which has already received several iterations of improvement.
  • It should surprise me

Oh the joy of being proven wrong, and it does not even come at much of a premium.

There have been lots of reviews written by authors more capable than me of the pro and cons, so I will just leave a few links here for you to learn more.

Jetpens has a good overview, I believe this was also where I ordered my first one. Link
