You Can't Tell Kids What to Do!

My daughter Ciera, 13 years old, has an assignment from school to write about the inventionof some everyday item, and how it came about, and what other things resulted from its invention. Of course, I'm going "the bicycle, the bicycle". Of course, she chooses the invention of sunglasses. What can you do?

But with sunglasses, she can harken back to Franklin's glasses, and go forward to the nanofilms being put on sunglasses today (and perhaps link them to current pilot and astronaut helmets, natch). Yes, the bicycle was the origin of many future developments, but sunglasses are not an altogether horrible choice.

She should have went for the ice cream cone, and I could have sent her the very latest version, Bob. www.kleerkones.com
(that, by the way, was a very shameless self promotion).
