Since the first stone axe and wobbly wheel, people have been inventing things to make life easier. Most of their ideas were forgotten, some were total disasters, but a few changed the world. Read about them in this book - like the man who said cars would never take over from horses, the mobile telephone you could hardly lift, and the toilet that sings to you.
