Begging to be invented: The folding dryer

folding dryerFor years, I have told anyone who would listen that I would love someone to invent a dryer that will fold my clothes.  Fortunately, the way our household chores are divided my partner does about 90% of the laundry with me lending a hand with folding clothes on occasion.

Although many guffaw at my suggestion, I don’t think my request is really that outlandish.  After all, if we can fly people to the moon or decode the human genome it doesn’t really seem that difficult to invent a dryer that can not only stop eating my socks, but also fold them.

What invention are you waiting for to be invented?

  1. When we were buying a washer/dryer combo several months ago, I joked with the salesman “They don’t make these things with wi-fi yet?”. Nobody laughed, but I’m used to that. A few weeks later Samsung rolled out the new models WITH wi-fi and a smartphone app. Even being the geek I am, I’m struggling to see much benefit or added convenience of being able to control your washer and dryer remotely, considering you still have to walk over to the things to manually shovel laundry in and out.

    In the meantime you can always drop it at a laundromat and they’ll wash and fold it all for you!
