18 super-practical inventions that many people don't know exist
There are some inventions that have been slow to emerge and others that are updated versions of a service or design that's been around for a while. For example, a lot of senior citizens complain about a lack of time at a pedestrian crossing. Ditto for reduced mobility people or those with prams or toddlers. So, did you know that in Singapore, you can apply for a digital card that gives you extra time to cross the road?
