In a World of Order, Chaos Reigns

1996
A chaotic washing machine? That's right. In 1993, Goldstar Company created the first consumer product to exploit "chaos theory." This washing machine was supposed to produce cleaner and less-tangled clothes.

The history of chaos theory is explained along with other real-life examples.
