It seems that more and more tech gadgets are being invented everyday to make our lives simpler and easier. While some of these gadgets become useless after a while, some gadgets are born useless. Here, we have gathered 10 useless gadgets that we believe are totally useless or pointless or both.
iTypewriter
Yes, it’s a real typewriter designed for the iPad. If you are missing the clickity, clackity sounds of a real typewriter when typing in your iPad, iTypewriter is just the accessory you are looking for. The brain behind this accessory, designer Austing Yang believes the typists will feel the force of each keystroke when typing using this accessory. He is also working on iTurntable which can make your iPod look like an old record player.
RC Tissue Box
The RC Driving Tissue Box is actually a tissue box placed on an RC car. All the lazy people out there can now find tissue papers within their reach using this gadget. However, you have to keep the remote nearby if you really don’t want to get up to grab tissues. When you don’t need it as a tissue box, you can think of this box as a remote control toy. It is available for $112 USD at the Japan Trend Shop.
Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
Nowadays, we are reminded every now and then to avoid using mobile phone while driving. However, it seems that the inventors behind the laptop steering wheel desk are not aware of this as they believe using a laptop while driving is necessary. I will suggest you to stay away from this dangerous gadget.
Human Washing Machine
Human washing machine works just like a normal washing machine. However, it will clean you instead of all your clothes. Once a person lies down inside the machine, it will spray water and soap on the person along with steam heat and infrared light. So, if you are not ready to get inside a real washing machine to wash yourself, you can try this washing machine designed for human.
iPod Toilet Docking Station
The iPod toilet docking station, titled as iCarta is a high-tech toilet paper dispenser that can help you to listen to your favorite music on your iPod while you are busy doing something in the bathroom. I don’t know why anyone would ever think about creating this useless accessory so it surely deserves a place in this post.
TV Hat
TV Hat is a simple hat with a little customization for holding a magnifying glass and a small, portable video player. The creators believe this gadget can give viewers a theater like experience but I am not sure how. If you really need a portable TV or video player, you can just look for sunglasses with TV.
Electronic Bubble Wrap
Some people love playing with bubble wrap and popping them and if you are one of them, there is an electronic keychain for that. This electronic bubble wrap keychain comes with eight virtual bubble wrap that can be popped for hours and hours and hours and hours. You can get this keychain for $4.99 only.
Retro Cellphone Handset
This old retro cellphone handset is created to provide users the “rugged comfort of 1960s telecommunications.” Users can connect the retro cellphone handset to their cellphone and talk using the retro cellphone handset. It is compatible with most cellphones out there and can be connected via a 2.5mm jack.
Electric Candles
Electric candles are flameless and safe to use. You don’t have to worry about any accident or mess when using electric candles. However, I don’t know why anyone would prefer electric candles over real candles.
Useless Box
Useless box, the name says it all! We are talking about useless gadgets here so this article will be incomplete without the mention of this device. This funny box comes with only one function, turn it on and it will automatically turn off. It requires 2 AA batteries and costs $39.99. It is really hard to believe that a useless box can cost that much.
