It’s Amazing How Creative And Inventive People Are…Bra History: How A War Shortage Reshaped Modern Shapewear : NPR

I often find myself amazed at our history. Look at the wondrous things we’ve invented, built, or crafted.

It is sobering to think that the everyday things we take for granted are part of billion-dollar industries yet their origins were very interesting, but rather humble. Everyday people invented them. I often become offended when people claim we could never invent or build something without extraterrestrial technology or influence. Two handkerchiefs and a piece of ribbon…what could you invent with only that?

I’ll bet you can make anything you want to.
