From jeeps that flew to tanks that shouldn’t—an entertaining look at White Elephant Technology, unusual inventions that failed in the marketplace despite being innovative. Intended to inform, amuse and delight, this dinner talk is sponsored by The Viet Nam Veterans of Diablo Valley, and will not only demonstrate how technology sometimes leads us astray but will leave you shaking your head in wonder while asking the question: “What in the world were they thinking?” The 30-minute presentation will be lavishly illustrated with photos and film clips. Tickets cost $35. Reservations are not required. For more information or to register for the dinner follow the link.
