a toilet seat that shows how long you've been sitting on it and how many MB or GB of data you've used over that period?

If you ask 1000 people in the US to complete the phrase "it's the greatest invention/thing since......." probably 900+ will offer "sliced bread".

But probably less than 10 will know who invented pre-sliced commercially sold bread (obviously people have been cutting bits off of loaves for much longer).

It's surprisingly recent too. Otto Rohwedder in 1928 BTW.
