What invention would the world be better off without, and why?

Nuclear weapons have caused nothing but hatred, war, envy amongst people and damaged our environment. We humans want to be better than the others around us. We like to compete, and in doing so we create things that may not benefit everyone around us. Wanting to be better than the rest we end up creating hatred amongst countries, war amongst the citizens and its rulers, and envy between the government officials.
I like many other want a peaceful world. One that does not destroy someones home just so one can win a war. People are attached to where they are born, and where they live; to destroy their home is like a child without her mother, lost and forlorn. The hatred for one turns into a cycle. The one being attacked want revenge, and the one attacking want to win. So where do we finally draw the line? Do we ever draw the line, and stop? While on the mission to win, we end up killing millions of innocent children, parents, leaving behind a frustrated population who want things to just end and be back to normal. But sadly things do not go back to normal, for there is the aftermath of the war, the trauma people have no choice but to live with.By using nuclear weapons a country maybe considered heroic, but is it really heroic? Killing a thousands at a time does it really make someone heroic?
Nuclear weapons not only destroy and create chaos amongst people, but they also damage the beautiful environment surrounding us. While we get to enjoy our surrounding areas, the generation after us gets barren land. We need to be considerate of the generation after us, and for our surroundings. We need to learn to care, and think of the affect our actions will have on other peoples lives. Nuclear weapons have created chaos in the past and to this day have brought us nothing that we all would benefit from.
