Top 25 Worst Tech Products of all Time |
Listed in: Tags: apple news
Ó
I completely agree with PC World's assessment of the 25 worst tech products of all time. They actually did a good job creating the list and managed to avoid the pettiness and seemingly vindictive inclusions that many "worst of" lists are often saddled with. The top five was right on target and the product that they chose as worst of all is something almost everyone in America has been annoyed by in one way or another. Since the article takes up nearly ten pages I will attempt to summarize it and create a easily readable list absent of the several paragraphs of explanation and qualification that accompany each product in the actual article. Some of the products on the list you may never have heard of, but most are pretty familiar items. The list is not scientific so don't get angry if you disagree with any of the items included in the list. It's all just for fun! Have a look, you're certain to get a laugh at the very least.Garnering honorable mention were the following "winners":
Web TV, Timex Data Link watch, the Motorola Rokr (cell phone), Dell's SL320i (the Ford Pinto of laptops), Apple's puck mouse and the Apple Newton Message pad were all included, along with many other completely forgettable tech products.
Now for the list. This is a list of the worst 25 tech products to be released since the tech revolution that started some time in the 1980's:
