Innovation doesn't always move us forward… sometimes it moves us backward or sideways.
Not every innovative idea is a good one. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should! It's hard to know which ideas are winners until you try them. The creatives of the world have plenty of ideas to suggest, but the ones that wind up turning into new products sometimes leave a lot to be desired.
These people were asked about tech inventions that are "actually worse than its predecessor," and people had lots of great suggestions. One that I actually can't believe exists is cars that have touchscreens. I recently saw a commercial where a man was driving a car with a touch screen secured on the dashboard, plus a touch screen that was built into the car. That just doesn't seem like it should be legal, let alone a product that you can buy.
I also almost got hit by a car yesterday by a woman who was using a touch screen in her car! She nearly ran a red light. She then glanced at my horrified face, and immediately started texting on her cell phone. Maybe having more screens in our lives won't solve our problems.
Next up, check out some rich kids who didn't realize how privileged they were, like one person whose family "had a couch in their home's elevator."
