One everyday object, that I at least, have failed to recognize that it too, was one day invented. One incredible fact about the fork to me is that much of the world, even those with the wherewithal and means, do not use them. There is something to be said for eating with one’s hands and being closer to your food, but the fork is just so convenient and useful. Just the opinion from a guy that can’t imagine a world without dishwashers – and nothing to do with the convenience factor there… I am just convinced that dishes are not clean without being submersed in water far too hot to be handled with unprotected human hands.
