Derailleurs. We'd have automatic superlightweight hub gears by now.
Why just smart phones. I would happily see the end of mobiles tomorrow. Computers as well for that matter.
That t*** who sings "opera" on the go compare ad.
is that really a thing?Neologistic portmanteaux.
Edit:Wikipedia says yes but how could 'spork' ever be a bad thing?
And while we are there, death to whoever invented auto spell checkers so you have to type spork 5 times until it is accepted 👿
Neologisms such as 'neologism' or portmanteaux such as 'portmanteau'?
Busted 😆

My children.
But I've only got myself to blame for that.

Unless they were grown from cuttings there must be at least one other person to shoulder the blame for them.

Not strictly an invention, but realising we could extract oil from the ground and then choose to either burn it or make plastic shit out of it has a lot to answer for.

Very good...good job you dont use any plastic materials eg computers or smartphones to view this forum then isn't it!
Mine has to be the selfie stick, trend for women pull a "fish face" in any photo and the celebrity culture in general!
That plastic crap they give away with kids meals at fast food places. Wtf. It amazes me that it has never been banned although we are forced to buy our plastic bags now that contain about a 100th of the amount of plastic
