7 cool and wacky tech products you never knew existed
Amazon sells a plethora of tech products that go beyond smartphones, cameras, and household electronic appliances. They are super innovative and sometimes, just plain wacky. They make our lives simpler and at the same time also make us think: do I really need them? Nevertheless, the offbeat stuff almost always manages to 'create' usefulness. Here are seven cool, slightly weird tech products on Amazon.
