Pornography.
At least, I'd like to uninvent it from about 1970. I did not see the way it was headed!

I walked into marks cafe this morning, every single person had their head down looking at their phones, mum and son, husband and wife etc. So it would be mobile phones for me, I wish they had never been invented.

There was less disease and starvation in the countryside.

Bullshit your looking at it through rose coloured glasses

The ideology the bandwagon people have jumped on the dangerous people taking advantage of loopholes and kindness and the corporations that promote and make money off it and especially the people who target children

Periods. Surely we don’t need one a month? Most women these days want a couple of children a few years apart. One period a year for a decade should suffice!

The endless scroll.

Also shit 'news' sites that are nothing more than a ruse to force you to watch adverts.

Dual income mortgages. It hasn't done us any favours to count both partners salary when assessing the amount lent. If they'd just stuck at basing lending on one salary, whichever is highest, it would have reduced house price inflation, also made it easier for people to buy on their own as they're not disadvantaged so much compared with dual income households and also built in resilience against job loss, illness, childcare costs etc.
