| Percy and the Microwave. |
An invention that was made by mistake. Percy Spencer is credited for inventing the first microwave oven. This invention was made when Percy stood in front of a active radar and the candy bar in his pocket melted. After this Percy and his fellow colleagues began to investigate this with other foods and the rest in history.

I find it interesting that the invention of the microwave was an accident because what would today's culture do without a microwave to conveniently heat foods up in? America is constantly on the go, if the microwave was not invented, things would certainly be slowed down a bit.
