25 Times When Technology Was Extraordinary at Innovating Things to Solve Issues We Don’t Have

Every single day, we hear about one innovation or another, a new gadget, and one technological advancement after the next. Technology is amazing, no doubt, and its main purpose is to make life easier for you and me. However, does it feel as if certain technological innovations are just there to solve problems that don’t exist?

While it's extraordinary to have whatever I might need delivered to my front door in a couple of hours, I'm beginning to think that connecting my toaster oven to WiFi isn't completely necessary. You can imagine a gadget you bought with your hard-earned money going under your TV only to unplug your router, or when you cancel your printer subscription and it prevents you from using the ink inside it, or a toothbrush telling you that it needs an upgrade. The list is endless.

No one is saying technology isn’t good or that it’s creating things that don’t need to be created. Like, what does my toothbrush need an upgrade for?

Well, if you’ve signed up for it, then you've got to stick with it or find a way out. We have gone ahead and compiled 25 images for you to see exactly what we’re talking about.

So strap in and enjoy this technological ride.

@schumatt

Every gadget you can think of, including your toothbrush, can now be connected to the internet, proving that technology has advanced far beyond our expectations. And it makes me wonder what will happen when everything in a house is connected online.

Things like the bed, chairs, pots, spoons, bathrooms, etc. That’d be one heck of a movie, but we hope it all doesn’t malfunction at the same time.
