"Negative" as in how?

You could always go the "political bitch" route and take shots at video games and rap music for "destroying the intelligence of our youth"

The results of the invention need to be negative. I guess video game violence would work.

1) Computer Viruses.

Nothing is negative. Its only the prevalent use of the negative aspects that makes the product negative. For example TV has considerably improved the communication means but look at teh negative effects also. You become fat, your eye sight gets screwed up and of course you run the risk of becoming an addict. Even things like drugs have positive uses (medicine primarily) but the abuse of it...well you get the idea.

Computer Forums- brought society to a new low in laziness. If you thought TV was bad, take a look at the guy who sits in front of his PC for 10 hours a day.

Oh crap, I just described myself.

Are those negative? Sure they are negative to some, but not all.

Does this essay ask for what inventions that you see as negative? Or does it have to be negative to everyone?

GHB was around before 20 years ago. German Scientists used it as a sleeping drug and a sexual dysfunction drug.

I would have to say Crack Cocaine. People date it in the late 70's to mid 80's. Freebasing was around before that, but not crack.

 

[amnesiac]

er...nuclear weaponry?
That's a pretty damn big negative. Not saying it shouldn't exist, but it's hardly a happy end to an argument.

Nuclear weapons have been around longer than 20 years.

Actually I was wrong to a certain extent. It was a French Scientist that discovered it in the early 60's.

And Nuclear Weaponry probably led to more positive uses like nuclear reactors / more advanced and controlled nuclear.
