Hearing from the leaders of the tech world is always revealing, and very often surprising. In our second annual Silicon Valley Insiders Poll, a panel of 101 executives, innovators, and thinkers weigh in on some of the biggest technological, political, and cultural questions of the moment.
So when we ran an unscientific poll of leaders and thinkers in tech, we had to ask: Which technology do you wish you could un-invent? What innovation do you think should go "back in the box" and be banished forever?
The two winning responses were: selfie sticks and nuclear weapons.
But let's go through some runners-up first.

like, poorly designed instruction sets, languages and operating systems can't just be removed since another poorly designed tech would be introduced in it's place instead of a good one. Since, the same people still want something broken to maintain as a living.
Same goes for tar: there are dozens of better alternatives but non of them can guarantee a yearly contract to someone friendly with city hall. So, even if you replace it, the alternative would likely be the next worse thing on the list.
