An Umbrella:
 * The Disadvantages || The Improvements ||
 * The sharp sections can poke you in the eye. || Glue flat erasers onto the end of each one. ||
 * They take up too much room, even when folded. || Develop a series of locking hinges along the length of the umbrella. ||
 * Water drips onto your shoes. || Attach an overhanging plastic sheet to the edges of the umbrella. ||
