A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Yeah but the PCB inside the paperless device would be as sharp as a paper, not to mention the component thin legs such as electrolytic capacitors (although the majority of electronic components are tiny blocks surface-mounted, there are components that need to be welded in a THT (through-hole) fashion because their electrical contents can't fit the small space of a SMD).
