    You could say the same about can openers or shelves, though 🤷

        Neither. Just pointing out that some people are less useful than even the simplest and most circumstantial technology 🤷

          Fun fact: The metal can, and canning process were invented 80 years before the first can opener. Up until that point people opened them with whatever tools they had available, such as a knife, a hammer and screwdriver, or an axe.
