Great ideas!! Here’s some more! I’ve invented electrical receptacles and switches, that if installed incorrectly, it won’t work!! Save thousands of lives from wall fires each year. Here’s another idea: use colors . The blue part has to plug into another blue part . That yellow part can’t be connected there. Idiot proof!!
