TNT- discovered by Alfred Nobel
Founder of the Nobel Prize
He found that mixing nitroglycerine with kieselguhr would turn the liquid into a paste which could be shaped into rods of a size and form suitable for insertion into drilling holes. In 1867 he patented this material under the name of dynamite. To be able to detonate the dynamite rods he also invented a detonator (blasting cap) which could be ignited by lighting a fuse. These inventions were made at the same time as the diamond drilling crown and the pneumatic drill came into general use. Together these inventions drastically reduced the cost of blasting rock, drilling tunnels, building canals and many other forms of construction work.

The car is a pretty good idea! It pollutes, moves people farther away from families, causes death when you crash it, and put a financial strain on families. Oh yeah, and America is obese. If we all got off our fat *butts* and walked to work, maybe we'd all be a little lighter!

TV (mass re-programming of the human race towards selfish irresponsible behaviors or consumerism)
Cars replaced a dangerous beast that polluted cities -- it was called a horse. Image how messed up and dangerous the US would be if we replaced all of our cars with the god old fashion safe and non-polluting horse. (That is until one throws you, tramples your child, and poops on your highways)

Condoms. They destroy billions upon billions of potential life each second.
Just joking. Most harmful invention = Blades or any sharp object.

Well, if you want points for creativity, you could say it was the cotton gin. Allow me to explain: the cotton gin increased the production of cotton, because it no longer needed to be seeded by hand. This therefore increased the need for cotton to be picked faster. Large plantation owners then needed more slaves to work longer hours in order to meet the demand.
You could probably take it further if you wanted to, or you could just stick with atomic bombs.
Good luck!
