10 Everyday Things That Grew Out of Military Technology-- Part 1: Duct Tape, Microwave Oven, Super Glue

 From Listverse December 9, 2021, by Jon F.

I am just listing these interesting items.  For much more information, go to the site.

10.  DUCT TAPE:  What would I do without Duct tape.  Invented by Vesta Stout.

9.  MICROWAVE OVEN:  Again, what would I do without the microwave.  To improve radar.

8.  SUPER GLUE:  Create clear gun sights.  By far best for gluing my fingers together.

7.  GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM:    Began as a way to track submarines during the Cold War.  O hate when mine calls me names in its "polite" way.

6.  THE INTERNET:    What would these blogs do without it.
