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.

Oh and we've now produced several decades' worth of people who don't tell the computer what to do, the computer tells them what to do.
You have email! Open it! So they open it.
The email says click here so they click there.
A web page comes up saying enter your password again so they enter their password again.
Next the computer says Click OK at the security warning to install this cursor accelerator so they click OK at the security warning to install this cursor accelerator.
Basically, the mouse has created paradise for scammers and marketers (but I repeat myself) at the expense of the very users the marketers said it would benefit.
