How about a dishwasher. Loved that appliance.<br /><br />The toaster. You probably know how toast was done before the toaster. The list goes on and on.<br /><br />Can you imagine what another 50 years will yield? Lots of stuff not thought of yet.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day. ☺Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-34829787403471066202016-11-11T10:42:02.302-05:002016-11-11T10:42:02.302-05:00For me it is Kindle.
