If you could un-invent something, what would it be? Discuss why, potential repercussions, or a possible alternative.

The common cold.  We’re all suffering in our house with hacking coughs, runny noses, sore throats and ear-aches (what a lovely mental image I’ve just given everyone!) and seem to have been like this for months.   Everyone I know seems to have it, which is probably why we’ve got it!  I was reading the other day that there have been less illnesses this winter as it’s been relatively mild in the UK.  Obviously didn’t survey my friends and family!

Potential repercussions – happier healthier people – what’s not to like about that?!
