Top 25 Worst Tech Products
PC Mag has come up with a pretty good list of the 25 worst tech inventions of the last 25 years. America Online comes in at #1 while Microsoft leads the way with three products. Although they are currently the envy of many companies, Apple has had their share of blunders along the way, including two products that made the top 25 and few others on the dishonorable mention list. A couple of items on the list are common products like Windows ME or Internet Explorer 6, but most of the time their place on the list is justified.
The list makes an interesting read for those failed products that we forgot about. Reading about some of these gadgets now, they just seem completely ridiculous, and in reality they were probably also pretty ridiculous when they debuted.
Here are the top five products:
- America Online (1989-2006)
- RealNetworks RealPlayer (1999)
- Syncronys SoftRAM (1995)
- Microsoft Windows Millennium (2000)
- Sony BMG Music CDs (2005)

Well, that is an interesting list of products and it takes us back to the days when we were at the mercy of these products. I guess no one can forget the ME by Windows. It was the worst version ever. AOL rules with #1 and it is still the worst product as said in the list.
