What are some inventions that didn't work out quite the way it was expected they would?

Like computers. In the early days the predictions were that we’d no longer need paper! It would all be on the computer! The reality though, is that we use probably five times more paper now than we did before. Contracts have gone from being one or two pages long, to about 12, and they have to be printed out in triplicate, at least. One small correction and you print it all out again.

What are some other inventions you can think of that kind of back fired that way?
