5) Shake it up!: On this day in 1960, the first Etch-A-Sketch went on sale. The artistic toy, invented by French inventor André Cassagnes and manufactured by the Ohio Art Company, features a flat gray screen and two knobs on the front of the frame in the lower corners. Turning the knobs moved a stylus that displaces aluminum powder on the back of the screen, allowing users to draw. And, when after an hour of trying to make a nice picture, if a user accidentally drew a line through their artwork, he or she could shake it in frustration and start over.
