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.

All of that is due to improper dirt work. If a road way is meant to last, the dirt is dug away at least three feet deeper than the concrete will be poured. Roll it, till it, mix it with lime, roll it and till it agains and again, adding more and more lime. When the dirt has zero moisture, and it has been compacted to 100% density, then, and only then, does the contractor finally begin pouring the concrete on top of the compacted dirt.
The State of Texas knows concrete. They will force the contractor to work that dirt for months, until it's just perfect.
