In my humble opinion here are three things that shouldn’t have been invented.

World of Warcraft

I wish that World of Warcraft was never invented because it had a very negative effect on my life.  When I was younger, I played World of Warcraft for nearly two years.  It ruined my life, and became then center of my daily activities.  Even if there were exams I would play it, for up to 10 hours daily.  I would make time for it, and even lose sleep over it.  I was addicted.  I am very thankful that I have recovered from that addiction, and never looked back.  Now I have come to realize that my family, my career, and my education are a lot more important than any virtual achievement to be earned from World of Warcraft.  Real life is always better than a virtual one.  Real life may be tough and hard at times, but at least it is real.

Cigarettes

Another thing that I wish was never invented are cigarettes.  In the first place, I have allergic rhinitis, and the smell of cigarette smoke makes me start to sneeze and cough.  The smell and smoke emanating from cigarettes I just cannot stand.  Furthermore, it is one of the leading causes of lung cancer and has cost many people their lives.  This is the reason why the government has asked cigarette manufacturers to place a warning in their packaging that cigarettes are harmful to health.  In some countries, they even require that the packaging indicate that cigarettes can kill.  How many lives, how many millions of dollars for treating illnesses and complications caused by cigarettes could have been saved, if the horrible thing had not been invented in the first place.

High Heels

On a lighter note, I wish that high heels had never been invented.  I am not a guy who is very tall.  This means that if my wife wears high heels she is already taller than me.  This makes us look awkward in public, which is why she no longer wears high heels when she is with me.  Multiply this a million times over.  This simply means that a lot of women who should be shorter than me appear taller just because they have the option to wear high heels.  If I can’t beat them, then maybe I could join them by wearing heels of my own, that way, we would be on the same footing.  Boots should do the job nicely.
