“Something so simple and useful”

The differences between countries can manifest themselves in the gastronomy, the climate or the hospitality of their inhabitants, but also in everyday objects. In this context, the TikTok user @raquelannee shared a video in which she appears surprised by a … element apparently common in Spain, but unusual in its country of origin: the United States.

@raquelannee focuses on blindsa basic object in Spanish homes. While manipulating the mechanism of “invention”, he questions its existence in his native country. The blind, according to her, is not only a practical tool but also an element of security.

And beyond its basic function of blocking light, @raquelannee highlights the feeling of security that they bring to you when you leave the house, an aspect that you particularly appreciate. “No one can look through the glass or come in,” he says.

But his intervention does not stop there. Raquel makes a striking comparison between the absence of this simple mechanism in the United States and the advanced technology of the American country, such as Tesla autonomous cars. “Why, in a country as technologically advanced as the United States, is something as simple and useful as blinds not common?” he asks at the end of the video.
