The question stuck on my mind and made me think. What could be humanity’s worst invention? Several things came to my mind – nuclear weapons, guns & drugs like cocaine, marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine, etc and other stuff that weren’t really bad inventions but could be misused by people with malicious intentions or greed. I couldn’t think of any other significant inventions. How bout you, what comes to mind when you are asked this question?
