The Dishwasher Actually Predates the Civil War
Earlier this year, many people freaked out over the news that basic modern kitchen appliances like microwaves, refrigerators and dishwashers could be spying on their owners. As experts have said since, this line of thinking is a bit fanciful. However, these appliances are a threat to be hacked and can have dire consequences if connected to a shared internet network. So, in other words, it's not completely insane to fear your dishwasher.
Of course, none of this was on the mind of Mrs. Josephine Cochrane, who built and patented the first commercially successful dishwashing machine in 1886. Here's the story of the much-overlooked kitchen appliance.
