Genius gadget

Of all of man’s recent inventions, the Iron has been the most neglected.
The magic of heat and weight straightening crumpled creases on various clothes is an important part of our daily lives. From officials to stars, anyone who is looked at or looked up to tries to get the creases ironed out. The frowns and glares that crumpled shirts invite are incentives enough to make the hard work that goes into this straightening act worth it.
Though simple-sounding this stretching and pressing can be a painful act. The fabric dictates the temperature to be set and anything too cold will dampen your work and anything too hot will end up in smoke, even burning a hole in your pocket. This gadget genius needs careful handling for it can burn your skin to a roast, or shock you with electric current. The steam function can be easier but also tougher what with black grease holding on to your iron’s surface.
Many an impression in the modern world zeroes in on the work of this plugged contraption.
