From spam algorithms to fake news floods, to illuminating plants that don't shine, we have "selected" the "worst technology" of the year for you!
In 2017, we will also launch the Chinese version of the list for the first time.
Volkswagen's "liar code"
This year, the world's most expensive lines of code may have been written by Volkswagen programmers. The software, called the "defeat device", was written by the Germans to fool the US car exhaust emission monitoring agency, and successfully masked the fact that its diesel exhaust emissions exceeded 40 times.
Although the scandal was blown out as early as 2015, Volkswagen received a ticket until this year. In June, the German auto giant agreed to pay the huge fine of up to $14.7 billion (RMB102 billion). In addition to being the price of the public's illegality, this large sum of money will be used for the recall of 475,000 vehicles involved in the United States.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7
That's right, it's not surprising on the list, because Samsung smartphones have been "fired" all over the world this year. After 35 reports of overheating of the mobile phone (one of which caused an emergency evacuation of a Southwest Airlines flight due to overheating of the mobile phone), Samsung finally could not stand up and warned all Galaxy Note 7 users to "shut down immediately" and recall. The new mobile phone still does not live up to expectations, or there is a spontaneous combustion. Samsung lost its face and was forced to announce the discontinuation of Galaxy Note 7, while recalling 2.5 million sold phones.
Samsung said that the overheating of the mobile phone is caused by the flaws in the assembly of the lithium battery.
Apple watch
Apple's cool new ads contain a lot of elements, including rap music, dancing, running in the rain, but not saying that Apple Watch is used for it... but now everyone knows: with Apple Compared, this stuff will not fire, and the second will not bring a lot of money to Apple.
According to IDC statistics, throughout 2016, Apple Watch sales were moving. However, not only Apple, but other competitors in the same field also began to give up: Motorola indefinitely postponed the release of the new Moto360 smart watch; industry pioneer Pebble also announced in December that it will stop "promoting, manufacturing, selling" smart watches product. Moreover, many consumers’ first reaction to Apple Watches is: “What are you doing?â€
