A Home Appliance You Can Probably Do Without

Have you ever considered getting a defibrillator for your home?

Yeah, me neither.

I suppose that if I lived in the Australian Outback owning such a device might make sense.

Then again maybe not.

According to this story in yesterdays New York Times, “researchers found no evidence that the devices produced significant life-saving benefits .”

I guess they still could be used to try and “shock” some sense into a mouthy teenager though.
