These inventions from 100 years ago were mind-blowing for their era, and today they still deserve a million likes... At least for how bizarre they look!
Keep scrolling to see a robotic vacuum cleaner from 1959, a diving suit from 1860 and more...
#1 And the award for the worst job ever goes to...
#2 This suit looks older than life itself...
#3 Old school looking good!
#4 A camera or a cannon?
#5 Who else though the robotic vacuum cleaner was a recent invention?
#6 Feeling safe...
#7 Rich in time!
#8 It’s the World Wide Web
#9 One wrong equation, and watch it explode.
#10 This man was definitely afraid of birds...
#11 I don’t know, I see a chocolate bar
#12 Oh, you’d be isolated indeed.
It’s been one hilarious journey, I’m not even kidding!

Love the emerald pocket watch🤗
Glad we don't have to haul a camera that size around today! Great inventions, very interesting thank you.
Love to come back in 100 years and see what we use today will be obsolete - also what it's replaced with!

May years ago a father of a friend had a camera which was matchbox sized, he had to cut film down to fit it. And I have an old black and white TV which has very smooth lines and incorporated stand somewhat like the one shown - only useful as an ornament now or in a museum.

The 'Isolator' looks very uncomfortable.

That tv is so cool! I thought the calculator was a cut-away view of a shoe at first glance :D

A good pair of earplugs would do the job of the Isolator and would be much more practical and comfortable. Also appears it would be hard to see well with that thing on your head. Also I can think of a lot of worse jobs than #1.

It was interesting and so different what we have today
Gil Grady
The Navy used that camera as late as the 60’s to photograph and and grade surface gunnery exercises.

I just noticed that it's the emerald pocket watch we women like the most! 😊👍

We can all laugh now at some of these devices but they were precursors to some of the gadgets that we have & use today. I wouldn't mind having that Philco tv now. I think it looks cool & I love the swivel arm. I will admit that some of these were pretty bizarre like the 20 foot long gun or the giant camera. I wonder if 100 years from now someone might be looking at the things we use every day & laughing at them.

The old gentleman appears to have a cover for his old gentleman. Budgie smugglers on the beach beware

👍🏼All these inventions are amazing and something to treasure for the rest of their lives and should be displayed in the museum for the people to see and appreciate the works of all those genius inventors!!🌏🧐👏🏼
