Microwave ovens. I still don't understand the need for them.

Mobile phones. For the most part, I think people can do without.

Music on CD. It never sounded as good as vinyl, and they always got scratched.

I can agree with you a lot because sometimes microwaved food just tastes worse. A perfect example of what I am talking about is microwaving sausage patties.

Fluorescent lights, and most electric lights. Imagine if the world was still candlelit? :heart:

The caste system. What caste systems basically are in a nutshell are basically if you are born there you stay there like for example if you are born a peasant you stay a peasant for the remainder of your life.

Car alarms.

Like, really. Who pays attention beyond being annoyed?

Instagram.

What the heck? Some people make a career by showing us their breakfast?

those ridiculous harsh-riding wagon-wheel-style giant rims and rubber-band tires on so many new cars.

I agree I only have instagram just for occasionally posting pictures of things that look cool.

Pinterest drives me batty. I'll be searching Google for a random image of a product, click on an image to get information, and get drawn into Pinterest which is like the vortex of Hell.

It doesn't tell you where to get the thing, or how much it is, or anything about it, and you get sucked into clicking like 20 things before you can get out again.

Decadence and materialism because they are probably the biggest threats to our culture and well being as of now.

strapless wedding dresses.

I'm sorry to anyone who had one, but from a distance I think it looks like a bath towel wrapped around the bride.

I really like dainty, delicate straps to show that it isn't your bosom holding up your clothes.
