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.

    Let me ask your mom if she'd rather pay me five dollars a month or just get raped bi-weekly.

    That would be extortion.

    I don't think you know how English works. If you change words in a sentence, that changes the meaning of that sentence. The new, different sentence no longer has any bearing on the original.
