19 Sly Stealth Innovations
Hiding Out in the Open, from Booze Dispensers to Spirituality:
Andrew Robichaud — Sep 16, 2009 — Science
It can be pretty hard to find something hidden when it’s right in front of your eyes. These stealth innovations are a prime example of how sometimes putting something right on the surface can be the best place to hide it. These stealth innovations cover drinking in public, spy gear, marketing and even hidden political allegiances. Scope them out! They’re on the surface AND easy to find (I guess I’m just not that stealth)!
