10 Awesome Movie Inventions (That Would Suck In Real Life)

10. Sleeper: Orgasmatron

Woody Allen's 1973 futuristic sci-fi comedy introduced the world to the Orgasmatron. As the name subtly suggests, the Orgasmatron is a large cylindrical port-a-potty lookalike that rapidly sends toe-curling orgasms to the user whenever they want. A machine like that would probably mankind's most fantastic creation, but beneath the pleasure-filled positives, a few serious and deflating flaws are apparent. 

The existence of an Orgasmatron prompts the big question, 'why go through all the trouble of trying to hook-up with someone when I have a machine at home that can do the exact same thing?' By solving mankind's need for sex, basic human interaction will be dramatically reduced. Not only could this risk future population growth, but places like strip clubs, bars, and nightclubs will lose a massive chunk of business to a home appliance.

With society overdosing on artificial orgasms every hour on the hour, there is also a big risk that productivity will drop due to workers preoccupying their time with the machine. Having your staff stumbling around the workplace in a post-climatic stupor all the time won't be conducive to a productive environment. Who knew that the existence of something that only brings pleasure could also be the potential cause of society falling into a sweaty, cross-eyed dystopia.
