Over the years, we have seen a lot of technologies that are absolutely great and life-changing. At the same time, we have seen a lot of useless inventions that would make you wonder what the inventor was thinking when he created it or even, what people who buy them think.
These technologies are things that are not only useless but sometimes dumb in every or almost every single way you look at it. This time around, I am not talking about pet rocks. Any invention that doesn’t solve any problem, is considered a useless one. You don’t need to take most of these inventions serious though because their makers only designed them for fun. Probably.
Most Useless Inventions Ever
1 Bottled Clean Air
This is a very interesting invention because it is something that those who came with the idea decided to package what they call green and clean air and ship it to other places that may need fresh and clean air. With this invention, canisters filled with fresh air from the Rocky Mountain town of Banff is taken to places like China where there is a high demand.
2. Cat Wigs
A cat wig is something that you are supposed to buy and wear on your cat as a wig. Sometimes it’s like a clown hair, which I think makes a lot of sense because it is a clownish invention. Cat wigs are designed for people who have cats and want their cats to be more beautiful than their neighbor’s cat. That is my guess, but you are supposed to buy it and wear it on your cat.
3. Upside down Umbrella
Instead of the normal umbrella, someone somewhere has decided to come up with an umbrella that is upside down, in such a way that you can get the rain falling. The umbrella has a tube connected to it. In case you are thinking it this stuff keeps you dry, the unfortunate thing is that it doesn’t.
4. Noodle Fan
If you like eating noodles but you hate waiting for it to get cold before eating, you can as well buy a noodle fan and let the thing blow your hot meal as you eat. The fan is attached to your chopstick.
5. Air Conditioned Shoes
These shoes are designed for people who have sweaty feet and their simple function is to make your feet cool. The shoe was made by the Japanese sometime in 2012, but there is only a little that is known about it, and that is partly because a lot of people think it is among the useless inventions.
6. Toilet Golf
This is a technology that is designed to assist you to practice your golfing skills in the toilet when you are pooping. I don’t know the amount of time you spend in the restroom, but what this invention is suggesting is that you can spare a little time for practice as you can buy it and fix it in your toilet.
7. Hair Hat
This invention is simply a cap that gives you hair probably when you need a disguise or when you are bold but you want to hide it.
8. Wine Glass Holder Necklace
You too much love your wine that you don’t want to keep it down when you need to do something, well you can hang it down your neck using this wine glass holder necklace. Just as the name suggests, this invention is a necklace but only to hold your wine glass.
9. Female Lap Pillow
For those that need the help of a woman in our midst before you can sleep, if you are looking to always rest on the laps of a woman each time you feel like sleeping, that is the serious problem that this extremely useless invention seeks to solve. Although it may be argued that this could cure loneliness, if that is your sickness, avoid it as it will only make you lonelier.
10. Steering Wheel Laptop Desk
My bet is that most people would go with this as one of the most useless inventions ever, even if you don’t agree with any on the list. The laptop desk is designed to be attached your steering wheel probably so that you can use your laptop as you drive. This is even when you are not even supposed to pick a call while driving.
11. Electric Facial Mask
Guess what this is supposed to serve for. Toning your skin. I hope you don’t believe that because as far as I am concerned, it only serves to scare the hell out of your buddies. That’s all.
12. Handerpants
This invention is very interesting because it is designed to cover some parts of your very sensitive private parts which happens to be your hands. Unlike gloves, these are underpants but they are to cover you’re your palms while leaving your fingers open.

13. Diet Water
If you are predicting that this invention is nothing but water that is packaged for you to buy and cook with, you are absolutely right. While hygiene is very important, the fact that you heat water when cooking means that it is very safe to cook with. Essentially, you do not need to buy any special water for cooking, and that makes this a very useless invention.
14. Gift of Nothing
If you are fortunate enough to know very fortunate people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Ellon Musk who have everything and therefore need nothing, the idea is to buy nothing and gift to them. That is the idea behind the Gift of Nothing. So you spend your money on PUN literally. This is because the gift of nothing is just a package of nothing which is supposed to do nothing.
15. BS Button
You are supposed to buy this button so that whenever you see bullshit, you can just press it and then it will say bullshit. That is the only thing about this invention which I may just buy to press it for the invention itself. The importance is that it allows you to call out BS even when you don’t want to use your mouth.
16. DVD Rewinder
Remember VHS rewinder? Someone somewhere with a lot of time and creativity has decided to invent something else and call it the DVD rewinder. The sole purpose of this is so that you can buy it even when it will do nothing for you.
