How did the table fork acquire a fourth tine? What advantage

does the Phillips-head screw have over its single-grooved

predecessor? Why does the paper clip look the way it does?

What makes Scotch tape Scotch? In this delightful book

of us count on but rarely contemplate, including such icons of

the everyday as pins, Post-its, and fast-food 'clamshell'

containers. At the same time, he offers a convincing new

theory of technological innovation as a response to the

perceived failures of existing products—suggesting that

irritation, and not necessity, is the mother of invention. em em
