Best Inventions of 2006

At least, according to Time Magazine.

I have a preference for low-tech genius, so the wovel is my favourite. This qualifies as overkill of a cliche. Scott Adams predicted that this will not be a hit. Malachi Constant is out there, even if the American Levitation Company is actually Dutch. And there is stiff competition for dumbest best invention between a motorized pool raft, an electric chair for lobsters, and an alternative to washing produce in the sink.

I like the umbrella, but I would LOVE one that could survive a gust of wind without being destroyed at the hinges.

Since I've lost 3 umbrellas in the past year I finally decided to just wear a nice 3/4 London Fog jacket on rainy days that keeps my clothes bone dry and accept that my hair would be wet and require restyling in the office.
