Do you think all the inventions are useful?
Many people have asked: what were the best inventions? what the more useful inventions in the 20th century?yadda,yadda,yadda. I have no interest in that, I want to know: what is the most useless invention ever created? My buddy, can you give me some example?
I'll try first: computer viruses

Hi 060157!Thank you for your reply anyway.
I really don't think computer viruses have any positive side. May be only Anti-virus engineer think computer viruses are "good",coz if there are no viruses on the internet,they will lose their job.
About surfing bad sites got virus, I don't think only the bad sites have viruses and I also want to know don't your computer got any viruses ever? If so, I take off my hat to you.
BTW,I think there are many ways to spread the computer viruses.

Hi Jambi462, your answers are very interesting!
Money; I don't think how can you survive in modern society without money, perhaps you always use credit card. May I ask a question? Do you like Robinson Crusoe? XD!
Legal system; I understand that legal system is not perfect principle of a good society, but without legal system a good society won't exist; After all legal system is better than jungle law.
