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!
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.
On a Sunday I usually wish it was Alcohol.
If i could uninvent something my choice would be tobacco, chocolate, and has to be the dreaded TV as like everyone else we watch far to much of it . jan x
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 "plastic" and all un-natural food......
I would un-invent the Scottish Parliment....
I would un-invent the Scottish Parliment....I'll take the bait, Why exactly would you do that?;)
I would uninvent religion, it has caused more wars and deaths & persecution on our planet.
I forgot about religion, yes i think your so right. jan x
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.
The real issue being?
That it takes 120 seconds between post on here....
I would uninvent the scottish parliament building! personality tests - why try a pidgeonhole people, racism, pesimism, plastic packaging, the list is endless!
Television as it ruined Family Life as I knew it we used to sit round a fire chatting now its round a Television with everyone been told to be quiet but as I watch it along with the masses a bit of pot and kettle here :lol:
I would un-invent Credit Cards (Take away temtation to buy what we can't afford).
drugs, ie heroin, cocaine etc
I would uninvent religion, it has caused more wars and deaths & persecution on our planet.
I second that.
I would uninvent religion, it has caused more wars and deaths & persecution on our planet.
That doesn't make grammatical sense.
Therefore I would uninvent grammar.

Political Correctness, failing that popcorn flavoured jelly beans, I've just eaten one and its disgusting.
