So I'm sure we all collectively have some great examples of this.
The idea is something that you looked at and thought "there's no way anyone actually needs this--it's solving a problem that doesn't exist, or can just be ascribed to laziness."
I'll give an example: rain-sensing windshield wipers. When I first heard about this, I thought to myself "why would anyone need this?" You're driving the car. You know if it's raining or not. The windshield wipers already had an intermittent function. I mean, could this possibly be that big of an improvement?
And then I got a car with rain-sensing wipers. And now I realize just how incredibly convenient it is when you're in spotty light rain or mist and the intermittent wipers aren't at the right setting so you're constantly fiddling with it, and all of a sudden this is just automatic. I don't even live somewhere that it rains very often at all, and I can now understand why it's such a beloved feature.
What ya got?
