Creating New Kitchens

In the last 10 years technology has improved dramatically. With the improvements in technology have come improvements in our household gadgets. Things like home computers, radios and even lighting have all evolved quite a bit. That said, with every good thing there comes bad, and there have been lots of gadgets over the years that have given technology a bad name.

 

Well now, Sheila’s Wheels has conducted a survey to find out which gadgets really are the worst gadgets of all time. There were quite a few to choose from, but after everything had been taken into consideration, it was the humble shower radio that topped the list.

 

The sorry excuse for a gadget was awarded the crown of worst gadget of all time due to a number of factors. The first one being that they regularly broke because water would leak into the batteries. Further more, the large majority of these radios couldn’t pick up reception in a shower cubicle and the sound of the running water literally drowned out the weak crackles that did manage to find their way out of the speakers.

 

Other pointless gadgets that made it into the top ten worst gadgets of all time included the following:

 

• Electric candles
• Electric nail file
• Soda stream
• Teasmaid
• Pancake maker
• Fondue set
• Electric fluff remover
• Facial tanner
• Egg slicer

 

Alongside the survey for the worst gadgets of all time also came the best gadgets of all time. The results from that were not too surprising. Television proved to be the most popular gadget, but it was a close call for second place between the telephone, computer and vacuum cleaner would you believe. All of the top gadgets of all time were noted to be items that aid every day life and can’t live without them. It just goes to show that some gadgets are actually worthy and lots can actually make perfect gifts. Items like sunrise alarm clocks and freeloaders are great fun to have around the house. However, if you’re looking for gadgets that aid everyday life, maybe alarm clocks would be better.
