Technology...

Post by Yaz Pistachio »

...officially sucks.


My phone fell out of my pocket while I was on a ride at darien Lake yesterday. We looked around it but we couldn't find it. We think we know where it landed, but it was a restricted area. The ride guy said that he was gonna look there once the park closed and call my aunt if he found it. **cry**

It didn't jump out of your pocket by choice. Your pocket failed to perform it's duty. So wouldn't it be more safe to say that your inadequite garments suck?

Well, that happened yesterday, and about 2 weeks ago, my iTouch almost went through the wash. This has not been my summer... At least with technology.

I'm sure that your iTouch didn't covertly try to jump into the wash so much as you forgot it's location and almost put it in.

It would seem as though you just have horribly bad luck. :|

This is not my summer with technology.

And Jon, I didn't put it in the wash. It was on my bed and my mom scooped everything on my bed up and put it in.

Ok well. It wasn't a conscious effort on the part of the technology. Blaming the technology is wrong.

Money may not BUY you happiness, but it can certainly keep you from being miserable.

Happiness can never be bought. To have money might help ease your mind, so you don't have to worry from day to day how to pay your bills. But the more property you acquire the more you have to worry about it.

My friend just got herself a new phone after having an ancient one that barely worked and she opened it outside school, dropped it in a puddle, and now it's broken.

So, your friend dropping a phone makes the phone unreliable?

Unbreakable, but not waterproof. If technology was unreliable you wouldn't be here on this forum. It works every day, your pc, internet, your phone, fridge, hair-dryer, but yeah, technology sucks.

Okay so technology works most of the time, but still needs improvement. We have this camera set up and our microwave interfered with it! I mean, come on!

But I guess I'd better stop complaining before BS brings her mallet back in.

Technology is perfectly reliable, the fact that i am typing right now proves that not only is my keyboard working, but it's talking to my computer, which is talking to my monitor and to the internet and the internet is talking to your computers and monitors... just because something is 'shock proof' doesn't mean it'll withstand water, just because your microwave interferes with a camera, doesn't mean that either of the products are unreliable, it means that they shouldn't be used at the same time...

seriously people, shazam! works, be happy about it... don't complain about the technology that allows you to live your daily life in the manner to which you have become accustomed. If it weren't for technology, your house would be hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and dark at night.
