Apparently in the future things will be cleaned not with water but with powerful, germ-killing UV rays. OK, I’ll buy that when it comes to getting your toothbrush sterile, but clothing? What about, you know, dirt?

Well, according to a 600 word block of near-incomprehensible broken English, I am so wrong. The UV Cleaner, slated to come out in 2020 for some reason, will kill the germs on your suit with UV rays and get the dust off with “a strong wind.” Yes, that’s all it does to get actual dirt off. I’m going to go ahead and call this out as one of the most poorly conceived concept gadgets ever, although I can’t argue with their point that “we don’t need to put up with an unpleasant feeling in 2020.” So true!
