Round 3 of useless tech. This time I've been looking on kickstarter for stupid tech that has been invented. Some of it.. no 1 of them you can buy? No that's not right, they all flopped without making a dime. Here we go again...
1 – ever thought your fish could use some fresh air? Or it needed to get out more. Well one kickstarter campaign created 'Fish on Wheels'. Supposedly full of sensors that could determine which way a fish is facing, swimming and move the wheels accordingly. 'Only' €40'000. you can help this invention make a lot of lonely and miserable Gold fish happy.
2 – OK, I think this next one is pretty cool but ultimately useless. A flying bicycle. Yup. The XploreAir... ''a conventional two-wheeled bike that transforms into an easy-to-operate aircraft requiring no licence to fly''. Being an adrenalin junky, I wouldn't say no if I was given one, but I wouldn't buy one. And I've found a couple of problems. 1, its a trailer that is pulled by a bike, and 2, when set up, Its 4 wheels not 2. with only getting 20% of what they asked for. Its not surprising you don't see this in stores. Most people prefer a normal bike than crashing to their death because they were never trained to pilot one.
3 - ''Technology should do more than just represent your sexuality - It should LITERALLY BE SEXY.'' That's the tag line. Really. I am not kidding. What looks like a manakin from a run down clothes shop. Paul the sexiest iPhone charger, has an iPhone charger in place of it manhood, and what makes it worse. The charging cable out of its balloon knot makes it look like it has a very bad case of worms. The inventor Justin Crowe needs some help. Or another dose of meth.
4 – You love your phone right? Android or apple. Lots of apps to keep you entertained, check social media, text your friends, talk to your mother, tells the time and more right? But are you so dimwitted and 'lights are on but nobody home' kinda guy? NoPhone is for you. A piece of plastic in the shape of a phone. That's it.
Oh I forgot, they do offer different colours. Urgh.
5 – Ever thought to yourself when you're visiting Chernobyl, Fukashima, or 1 of the many nuclear wast storage facilities around the world, you think..'gee. I need protection for my junk'. Hahar, well, ahem, Wengash Silver underwear have such a thing for you. This budgie smuggler is made from silver and can block out harmful radiation that could make you infertile. I think that's the reason they only got 2 backers.
Think I'm gonna keep digging in these crowd fund sites for more crap like this to laugh my arse off too.
Don't forget to upvote and follow for more useless tech.
