Religion. By far the worst man-made invention. Responsible for million of deaths and the brainwashing of even more than that.

Religion and politics.

It's a technique to control large groups of people...

Technology was used to disseminate religious and political ideals. Like the printing press, telegraph or radio.

But I don't think ideas, thoughts, and fairy tales are actual technologies.

Depends. One can argue that politics or religion are techniques to perform crow control and to influence people. There are (scientific) methods to do this and to do this more efficiently, therefore I think you can call it technology.

I'm not gonna touch the religion/politics bit... that's just a mess.

Automobiles/transportation would be your best bet as they are so common in lots of forms. But the biggest positive you missed in that area would be the jobs they have created all over the world.

Without them we would be lil more than we were before the 1900's.

Yea, the pollution sucks... and anyone who owns a oil company can go get fucked, but from people working on assembly lines to your local mechanic... we no longer drive them, they drive the world. At least I'm told, that's how it goes in Russia.

Yes and no. If cars were not invented we would either have eliminated the need to travel this much or found other (better?) ways to travel.
