The Most Useless Gadgets Ever Invented


BANGALORE: The craze to get the trendiest gadget that eases our workload is among all of us. But this madness has reached a stage where people are inventing the most worthless products with the most ridiculous features. Here are some gadgets that were designed to help people but instead, ended up being the most absurd devices, as compiled by the Hearst electronic products.  

# Laser Powered Scissors: Looks like the age-old scissors have evolved with time in technology. If you want to cut paper or fabric straight, get a pair of laser powered scissors. The built in laser helps you cut in a straight line and is a perfect choice for gift wrapping, scrapbooking, craftwork and even cutting your hair. This device requires two LR44 batteries to get it functional. 

# USB Mouse with a Digital Weighing scale: This could probably be the most ridiculous gadget in this list–a computer mouse equipped with a digital weighing scale. Up to about 500 grams can be weighed on the device and the scale is powered by 2 AAA batteries. The features of this device include an integrated scale with a LCD display that offers good readability. The USB mouse weighs around 84 grams and it is useful when you have to weigh something small.
