The handkerchief.
A piece of cloth you repeatedly blow your nose into, and then put back into your pocket???

Airplanes! Without them we wouldn't have hijackings, and we would still have the Twin Towers. Also, the majestic zepplin would still ply the skys. Huge Grande ocean liners would transport the masses happily across the seas cheaply and with better food. There would be no noisy airports to piss people off. No contrails to ruin photos, no occasional huge lump of frozen **** crashing through someones house in Boise.

You know, I have no problem with the occasional lump of frozen **** crashing through someone's house in Boise. Just as long as the frozen **** stays well away from Minnesota, I can appreciate the comedic value.

Even frozen **** is smart enough not to go to Minnesota.

For six months of the year, all **** in Minnesota is frozen. I just don't want it invading the other half of the year.

Why not just cell phones?
Lancer's at least partially right about cars, there's very little to be said for the sprawl that cars made possible.

Television. Without it more people might actually spend some time thinking rather than waste hours sitting watching mindless drivel.

NO flobbies, chiapets, mood rocks, lava lamps, and so forth?
Light Beer sounds good to me
as for a significant invention? Cotton Gin: revitalized a dying institution, and I am sure industrilization could have lived without it.

I would not have mided paying a wee bit more for my cotton cloathes. And what's wrong with linens?

Astroturf.
Really, pick any synthetic material popularized in the 70s and you've got a winner. Actually, pick just about ANYTHING from the 70s and there's a good chance it should be on the list.

I forgot the glowing puck some US network (I believe it was FOX, IIRC) introduced when they first decided to televise NHL hockey.

Oh, there you go. The glowing puck. I agree. Hideous. Typical Fox (pretty sure it was them).

 The handkerchief was a great human advance. Before that, people used their shirt sleeves, for crying out loud!
