The world’s worst inventions
We usually think of inventions as things that make our lives better. The internet helps us communicate, cars help us travel and modern technology can save lives.
But not every invention has made the world a better place.
Some inventions are dangerous. Some damage the environment. Some are bad for our health. And some are simply annoying!
Your three worst inventions
Think about inventions that you believe have had a negative effect on people or the world.
Make a list of the three worst inventions of all time.
For each one, think about:
- What is the invention?
- Why do you think it is bad?
- What problems has it caused?
Then compare your list with the people in your group.
Can you agree on the three worst inventions?
