Daily Revelations: Technology

"Yo, Kevin. Why do you have so many devices?" asked one of my housemates last week.

Quick answers are, I don't know, and, I am a hypocrite.

I am a firm believer that technology makes life more complicated and tense. We put up with the added stress because of a misplaced feeling of self-importance and a desire to own shiny devices. In the end, life is more complicated with cell phones and other mobile devices, and the supposed added benefit they offer in our lives is suspect.

Like I said... I am a hypocrite.

I Hate Technology . . .

. . . when it doesn't work. I hate it more when you need it quick and functioning. Right before a presentation, for example. I particulary hate it when the computer is a Mac--not for the fact that it is a Mac (because computers fail one time or another), but more for the fact that people *always* have to laugh or chuckle for some reason. I don't get it. Macs are definitely are not immune to problems.

I guess it's interesting to see that people regard the Mac with high standards. Or is that just wishful thinking?
