Quite an interesting article here. It tells the story of ten inventions that owe their success to World War I in some way - but most of them aren't obviously related to warfare.

The only one I knew about was daylight saving time. How many were you aware of?

I didn't know any of them. It's weird how the perception of "sanitary napkins" hasn't changed much since then
