The Stuff That Is Supposed to Make Our Life Easier But It Doesn't - By Ekaterina Shcherbakova

Chindo-gu (???^?) is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem.

The author cleverly takes us to all the premises of this art as well providing us with witty examples of them.
