Next, I contemplated the invention of the microwave oven, which had made cooking quick and effortless. However, I realized that without it, people would be forced to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen, leaving no time for leisure or relaxation.

Finally, my eyes fell upon the smartphone, a device that had become an extension of people's very beings. It had connected the World yet simultaneously disconnected individuals from the present moment. With a mischievous grin, I bottom decided that if I could un-invent anything, it would be the smartphone.

In my mind, I envisioned a world where people engaged in face-to-face conversations, where they looked up at the sky instead of down at screens, and where they truly lived in the moment. I knew that by un-inventing the smartphone, I would free humanity from the chains of constant distraction and reconnect them with the beauty of the World around them.

And so, with a wave of my inventive wand, I set out to un-invent the smartphone. As the last smartphone blinked out of existence, the World seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. People began to rediscover the joy of genuine human interaction, the thrill of exploring nature, and the simple pleasure of being present.

From that day forward, I bottom was hailed as a hero, the man who had un-invented the device that had stolen humanity's attention. And as I basked in the gratitude of the World, I couldn't help but smile, knowing that I had made a truly remarkable and witty choice.
