The karaoke machine is the most annoying invention in Britain,a survey (民意调查) for the government found.It found that the Japanese invention topped a list of inventions that people wished had never been invented.
2,584 adults were surveyed in England online.Among them,22 percent chose the karaoke machine.17 percent said 24-hour sports channels,12 percent chose video games,while 11 percent said mobile phones and seven percent said alarm clocks.“Seeing the karaoke machine at the top of that list made me smile,” said Kane Kramer,a director at the British Inventors Society.
“When people are singing karaoke,they are enjoying themselves,but as a member of the audience you are just watching somebody who can’t perform for as long as you can bear it.It is antisocial (令人讨厌的).You might have 10 people who want to sing some karaoke,which means 150 people have to suffer it.But the crazy thing is that people still do go just to be a listener at other people’s inability to sing.After a short while—unless they’re very drunk—they’re going to find that listening to performers failing to perform for two hours is not the best way to spend the evening.”
Karaoke has turned into a very large industry since being invented in 1971 by Daisuke Inoue,a worker in a club in Japan who was looking to provide music for a customer who wanted to sing on a company trip.
Asked what people would like to see invented in the future,18 percent said a robot cleaner and
16 percent said a time machine.Asked what the most important safety inventions were,69 percent said the smoke alarm,64 percent said seat belts and 29 percent said baby seats.

Do you want to see the effects of global warming?Then head north.Will Steger is going to take all of us there.
Steger,64,the first person to make a dogsled trip to the North Pole,is a very famous and admired polar explorer.He’s at home in frozen parts of the world where few humans ever step on.Steger is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming.He saw its effects firsthand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica.
Now Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1,400-mile,60-day-long dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island,in the Canadian Arctic.The sea ice in that region should still be frozen.“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming,” says Steger.The team will be uploading videos,stories and photos to the website globalwarming 101.com as they march along,allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day.“We can actually bring the audience up there,” Steger says.
