^^^ you sound like my Dad...he used to get SO mad about that too.
Lava lamps are a waste. I've never owned one and don't plan too. Same with "pretty" toilet paper...who cares! It's gonna be flushed no matter how pretty it is, lol.

Yeah, speaking of toilet paper, sure it is good use of tech to create something that doesn't feeling like sandpaper, but adding color? why? and why not use recycled paper? the fibres in it is already softened. And using chlorine to make it all bright with is really just a waste of chemicals.

Not scenting it! grrrr LOL I know what you mean!! I prefer most of the things I use to be unscented!!!! One thing hate is when people want to change something just for the sake of changing it! If it works fine leave it alone rather than come out with a new and less improved model of something that after the problems have been worked out they want to design something else and start the whole wasteful cycle again!! What's wrong with keeping a model of any given item and keeping it making improvements on it rather than going to something new that is unproven!! It's all a big waste!!!!! People can be smart and very stupid at the same time in different ways!

I agree with you about the packaging being hard to open. It was much easier for me to set up my computer than to take it out of the packaging! At least with all that packaging many things could survive a nuclear Holocaust! One thing I can say is that you will burn off most of the calories you consume getting the snack open from its overly protective sealed packaging!!! Way too much effort is spent on things that are a waste of time and not enough in areas that could use improvment!

I think the super bright running lights on SUVs are a waste because they are very blinding to on coming traffic. This can cause an accident. They should be hooked up to dimmer switches to reduce their brightness! The bluish headlights are blinding to!! A dimmer that could adjust their brightness would be helpful here to!

Hey SUV are a waste of technology.
Offroad vehicles should not be allowed to people without a real reason to use them. (So eat a goat, soccer-mom)
Which reminds me; Projectile Firearms.
Goddess, first of, unless you want to limit the world's population, ordinary people should not have access to them. second, why research anymore? bullet come in one end, bullet come out other end.
Waste of tech, if I ever heard any.

I would say that any technology that isn't environmentally friendly is a waste because it is destroying the planet!!!

Tea bags. Yes, I drink alot of tea myself, and I am just as lazy as the rest of the world. But tea bags; a little portion of tea in a small paper bag. So to make this little tea bag, you have to have a machine that stuff it into the bag, and you have to have a factory that makes those little bags.
Such a waste of technology, I mean just make a pot of tea with lose tea leaves, and you are doing your small part to keep our environment to our taste a bit longer.
