TV Glasses
Long before there was Google glasses, there was a man with an idea. Hugo Gernsback, sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction," had an idea in 1963. He wanted to put TV in front of his face at all times, so he made the TV glasses. These eventually paved the way for 3D glasses in theaters.
Sunscreen Vending Machine
Sunscreen is an important part of skincare. That's why every outdoor activity in the 1940s sold sunscreen out of vending machines. Whether on the court, at the swimming pool, or lounging by the beaches, little globs of sunscreen were only a few nickles away. This is one invention that fell out of favor but maybe should have been kept around.
