Put the items in your preferred order.
VR Headset
Promised to transport you to other worlds but mostly delivered motion sickness and a sore forehead. Used twice, then exiled to the loft.
Fitness Tracker
Bought with grand ambitions of becoming the next Mo Farah, now buried in a drawer next to dead batteries. Step count abandoned by February.

Smart Juicer
Hundreds of pounds to do what a pair of hands could manage with a pre-packaged sachet. The poster child for pointless smart appliances.
Bluetooth Tracker for Keys
You bought it to stop losing your keys, then promptly lost the tracker too. The app pings hopelessly from somewhere behind the sofa.

Which insect inspired the design of a tiny flying robot developed at Harvard, known as the RoboBee?
