At PC World, we spend most of our time talking about products that make your life easier or your work more productive. But it’s the lousy ones that linger in our memory long after their shrinkwrap has shriveled, and that make tech editors cry out, “What have I done to deserve this?”

Still, even the worst products deserve recognition (or deprecation). So as we put together our list of World Class winners for 2006, we decided also to spotlight the 25 worst tech products that have been released since PC World began publishing nearly a quarter-century ago.

Our goal is to make people laugh, then make them think.
We also hope to spur people’s curiosity about science, and to raise the question: How do you decide what’s important and what’s not, and what’s real and what’s not – in science and everywhere else?
AIR may be the only science magazine that’s read by scientists, doctors, and engineers – and by their families and friends. Teachers love to use AIR articles as a way to get kids (and their parents) curious about science.
