Tech that's just wrong

Every now and again, we'll come across a piece of technology that works just fine, does exactly what it's supposed to, and yet, and yet... Something about it just isn't right. We can't put our finger on why, but even thinking about it makes us feel a bit funny. This is technology that's just... wrong.

We've highlighted, in no particular order, some of the inventions that we could happily live without, and would in fact prefer if they'd never been invented. We've placed each wrongosity onto our patented 'Scale of Wrong' to show where they fit into the grand scheme of wrongness -- are they more Steve McQueen looking icey-cool or Steve Ballmer dancing like a loon?

Click through the images to bring the wrongness. And if you have any thoughts on technology that makes you want to scrub your eyes with brillo pads when you look at it, let us know in the comments. Equally, if you think any of our choices are really oh so right, then let us know. -Rich Trenholm
