Uninvented Technology


Technology is the cause of such wonderful advancements and development in the world. It has given us things that we have become to accustomed to and we now consider them as necessities. Technology, however, is also to blame for inventions that may not be a good idea or something that we would live better without. In my opinion, many marvelous inventions come with a few flaws. With the advancement in technological products, many things will be invented that we could live without. Not saying that things currently invented are all needed. After looking through the 12 bits of technology we should have not invented, I realized that there are many products invented that we would live better without. I had never really sat down and said to myself that an invention causes more harm than good. I have always just wondered to myself, "Why couldn't I come up with something like that?" I have wondered about, but there are many things that I come into contact with that are not allowing good to come from it. Of coarse, i criticized inventions such as these that are annoying and possibly dangerous inventions. One of pieces of technology that i believe should be uninvented is the In-flight mobile phone service. I love to travel and experience different cultures, however, with the invention of the in-flight mobile phone service you are no longer able to avoid contact for the several hours of travel which adds to the stress of travelling.With the implementation of technology that enables passengers to talk on their mobile phones and have access to wireless Internet while on-board, they are no longer able to escape and experience new cultures and break down the "always-on" motto. I believe, as technology continues to evolve there will be more and more useless inventions created, however, if that is the only negative aspect and no harm comes from it, I am not going to complain about the advancement in technology.
