There is no denying that putting on your socks can be an arduous task. Who has time to sit at the edge of their bed and put a sock on each foot to start their day? Maybe you can call us lazy – but surely there’s a device out there that stops us from asking our mom (or partner) to put on our socks.
Look no further than the slock slider. This ingenious device allows users to simply fit the edges of the sock onto it, providing one with the easy task of simply dipping their foot toe-first into the hole. There has never been an easier way to put on socks!
The Laundry Folder
We have washing machines, tumble dryers, and yet all these years we've had to rely on primitive things like our hands and irons to keep our clothes neatly folded. No more. The automated laundry folder is officially here.
Laundry is truly one of the worst chores of everyday life, so we are so thrilled that this revolutionary machine was launched in 2019. How it came this late is a total msytery.
The Secret Fridge Cam
When the fridge lock is a little too harsh but you still need some refrigerator security for various reasons. Perhaps you find that someone at the office keeps stealing your yogurt, or you're cruelly monitoring your loved one's food habits, either way, the fridge cam is the way to go.
Just stick the sneaky little secret camera in the back of the fridge, connect it to an app on your phone, and keep that watchful eye on your beloved icebox.
Sound Shirt and Sound Mini Skirt
Unlike other devices on this list, this one is specifically designed for the deaf community. Unveiled at the Access+Ability exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Soundshirt, and the Sound Miniskirt are designed to look appealing to the eye and to also assist those who wear them.
Designed by Ryan Genz and Francesca Rosella, this wearable device provides deaf audience members with the ability to "feel" the music being played at a concert through vibrations and the sense of touch. It's a pretty innovative breakthrough that helps members of the deaf community get a much more well-rounded experience at events that heavily revolve around music.
Electronic Luggage Bag
It would be quite an understatement to say that moving a luggage bag around the airport can be quite a drag (pun intended). And that was the inspiration behind a Chinese farmer's incredible invention. He Liangcai devised the very first electronic luggage bag. Like many other luggage bags, this one also has wheels.
But what makes it unique is the fact that the wheels are connected to an electric system that allows it to move without dragging it along the floor. It also has a pair of handles, allowing the user to sit on the bag and ride it like an electric bike. Here, we can see Liangcai riding the bag down a street in Changsha City.
