Inventions To Uninvent

[brokencross]

You often see top 5 lists of the best inventions and innovations which have changed the world. What about the other way round? Is there anything you wish had never been invented.

I wish the TV remote had never been invented. Besides making me lazy, I find I have become an incessant "flicker" and channel hopper which means I rarely watch one programme right through and it annoys the living daylights out of the rest of the family.

What would be your uninvention? If any at all.

Gun powder has to be my choice, think of all the lives that could have been saved!

[henry20]

There are bound to be loads, just can't think of them!!

The TV remote is definitely one - especially in my mothers house. Its bad enough that she flicks - even worse that she flicks through the shopping channels!!! Saying that, its a pain in our house because I always lose it and spend ages searching for it so I can change the channel - never have the sense to walk to tv and do it.

Another would be the tv itself - I spend too much time watching rubbish on it when my time could be spent doing something more worthwhile.

I would uninvent religion, it has caused more wars and deaths & persecution on our planet.

I'd un-invent games consoles, hopefully that would get the kids of today back out playing in the fresh air instead of stuck in their rooms getting fat and anti-social.

I would uninvent religion too. Doesn't get you anywhere. Religion is the stuff that people build up around faith in God and clouds the real issue.

That doesn't make grammatical sense.

Therefore I would uninvent grammar.
