Sometimes, when you learn about
an innovative product that seems
simple and practical, you wonder,
“Why didn’t I think of that?” Here
are some ideas that could have
you thinking that way:
• Traditional pop-up toaster, but
with a glass side, so you can see
exactly how much it’s toasting
• Toolbox designed to do double
duty as a table or a bench
• Bathtub sitting bench made of
smooth, sturdy planks
• Smartphone app that can map
and print a floor plan for
any room
• Digital measuring cups and
bowls that tell you the volume
and weight of its contents
