Gadget Nation

A Journey Through the Eccentric World Of Invention “Gadget Nation is the most enjoyable reassuring book Ive read in years. Here is the quirky spirit of American Ingenuity that goes back to Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, still alive and well, still passionately dreaming and tinkering in their workshopsĶ.” – Charles Osgood, anchor of CBS News Sunday Morning and The Osgood File Steve Greenberg, Author & Innovation Insider Join Innovation Insider and Author Steve Greenberg as he takes your listeners through his New Book on a journey through the Eccentric World of Invention. Have you ever heard of bird diapers? Interested in a talking toilet paper dispenser? What about a motorized ice cream cone? A handle for carrying your turkey around the kitchen? Or Looking for a kosher lamp? Steve travels the country seeking out clever off-beat new products. His journey through the underbelly of American invention has brought him face to face with hundreds of garage inventors. These are not gag gadgets from some lame late night talk show skitĶthey are actual, real products that you can buy today!! He will also talk about the inventors themselves and their motivation behind each invention. In a segment that promises to be both fun and informative Steve can demo some off-beat inventions and have your hosts guess which inventions are money makers–and which ones are big money losers. Your hosts and viewers will enjoy the entertaining array of products and be amazed at which ones have actually been successful. Steve can also offer tips for wannabe inventors so they don’t make the same mistakes others have made. In this world, logic doesnt enter into the equation. A product that most people might look at and think, “Who needs that?” Might be raking in millions!! Some other inventions from Steves book: Cast Skate, Hold-a-phone, Mothers Third Arm, Shoulder Dolly, Help AlerterĶĶ..!!!
