Imagine being the person that literally invented the wheel. They created something that would make billions of lives easier with just a bit of creative thinking. But the people behind these ideas put that guy to shame!
The world is full of amazing feats of design that we all take for granted. Some are highly complex, like elevators and planes, but others are incredibly simple. Scissors, for example, are two pieces of metal held together with a screw. And thanks to that, we all have nice haircuts!
But for all the great simple designs that have become commonplace objects and features, there are many more that should be used more widely.
The 25 examples below are all incredible design innovations that would benefit people across the world!
The Perfectly Placed Elevator Call Button (It Means You Don’t Have to Wait By the Time You Reach the Doors)
This is almost as good as making an elevator button app that allows everyone to call an elevator with their cell phone. Imagine that!
These Three Buttons are at Every Table in a Restaurant and Mean “Call Waiter”, “Ask for Bill” and “Clear Table.”
There should also be a button that means “bring more ketchup”
The Instant $1 Tip Card Machine.
Now cheap people have no excuse for not tipping!

A Sauce Tupperware Within a Tupperware
The sauce need never dry out again!
The Changing Room Where You Never Forget What You Like

Calculate How Much You Cart Costs Before You Get to the Checkout
Does it also come with a price scanner? Cos that would be great!
The Baby Scooter/Carriage
This looks kinda dangerous, but at a slow speed, it bet it beats a stroller hands down.
The Drinking Fountain for Animals as Well as People (That’s Surprisingly Hygenic)
Just so long as no one mistakes it for a urinal, this is a phenomenal idea.
The Cup With a Built-In Teabag Holder
It’s also great for confusing people that only drink coffee into guessing what the hell that’s for.
Children Will Never Need Mom or Dad to Help Them Reach The Sink Agan
Now there’s really no excuse for children not washing their hands. Although at $16, it is a bit pricey for a piece of plastic.
It Should Be The Law for Chewing Gum to Come With Wrapping Paper, Like This
Although somehow it seems like there will always be tons of used gum stuck under picnic tables.
Plugs Can Literally Be Extension Cords. It’s Just That Almost No Electrician Ever Thinks of it
That would definitely help reduce the tangles of cords that infest most corners of every home.
The Toilet With A Built In Sink. Water Even Gets Used Twice!
First the water washes hands. Then its used for flushing. That’s good, because the other way around would have been gross.
High Heels That Never Get Stuck In The Mud
Polar explorers used to stick tennis rackets on their shoes. This is like a mini version of that.
Slides Can Make Escalators Obsolete
This would also allow anyone to unleash their inner child without any public embarrasment.
Alcoholic Ice Cream
This must be the best way in the world to get drunk. Take that, Jello shots!
The Garbage Disposal Switch Safety Bumper
This could literally save thousands of fingers every year.
Leftover foil wrapping with a Handle
Seeing as plastic bags are terrible for the environment, this is a great solution.
This Isn’t a Palm Tree
It’s a cell phone tower perfectly disguised.
Stairs That Show You How Many Calories You’re Burning
It may be exhausting to take too many stairs, but at least it’ll remind people of their weight loss goals.
Golf Balls That Feed Fish
A great way to make something environmentally friendly. (The course is designed so that balls always end up in the sea.)
The Parking Outline That Goes a Little Bit Too Far So That You Don’t
This is such an obvious way of making people know when they’re parking properly, it’s crazy.
The Littered Bottle Collector Strap
The perfect way for environmentally conscious people to recylce on the go.
A Hotel That Puts New Carpeting In Every Day, That Tells People The Day!
People on vacation always lose track of time. This is a really handy way of letting people remember.
A Library That Tells People Where All the Embarrassing Stuff Is Located
They should do this in drugstores for stuff like condoms.
These are just a few of the many, many things that would make life easier. Let’s hope these and other great ideas catch on and become the norm everywhere!
