Post your favourite & worst invention of all times!

My favourite invention of all times would be the solar powered car. It just intregues me greatly that you can use nothing but the power of nature to make a vehicle work. Also, it is a lot more energy efficient and environmentally friendly and it's always good to take care of our only home, earth. I hope one day they are used regularly on the roads and that they become available for almost anyone to buy.

My least favourite invention of all times would be the nuclear bomb. It's ultimately destructive and in my mind, needs NOT to be a part of todays society. Plus, nuclear bomb testing is polluting the environment and making people ill...and at the same time the government [from which ever country that may be] is letting it continue because we are testing our "defense". Complete s***!


What is your favourite and least favourite invention? and why?

Worst invention of the 20th ( and end of 19th) centuries was the state/public school system.

Best invention of the 20th century was the internet.

Worst invention ever: Mr. Bell's infernal machine.

Runner up for Worst: Mr. Edison's sound recording device. Music used to be a rare and special thing. Now it's ubiquitous. In fact, there is no public space you can go and not hear music.

Best: The Internet

Best: Can-openers. Yeah, you try opening one by hand.

Worst: Weaponized viruses, as if there aren't enough sick people as it is.

best: Video games
