GREAT INVENTION
-The Ball Point Pen. Perhaps the most underrated writing instrument of the 20th century. They are reliable, write smoothly, and look clean on the page. Sure technology is eclipsing their usefulness, but I still use them everyday.
-Runner-Ups- The Band-Aid, Remote Keyless Entry, TiVo or DVR
BAD INVENTION
-The Spork- I appreciate the thought behind the spork, but how are these things still used after all these years!? My problem with the plastic spoon/fork hybrid, is the fork portion of it. Does anybody really ever use the fork prongs to stab their food? No, they are too shallow and completely ineffective.
-Runner-Ups- Sunglass leashes, Kneeboards, Dr. Pepper
