Does Tech Actually Make Life Harder?

By Mommabethyname @MommaBeThyName

Ever feel completely sucked in by technology?  Or three steps behind because you trusted in its ‘convenience’?

Ever pressed zero for a representative? Gone on a website to remove info and found you had to give more info just to remove it? Try to open your garage door with a dead clicker? Or have the fire department at your house because you can’t get your smoke alarm to turn off?

Ever try to watch satellite TV in a rainstorm? Or get left (literally) in the lurch by your GPS?

Just how is it, with seventh generation cell phones, we still can’t hear the person on the other end?

And what about the flatness of text conversations? Does the person like you? Hate you? Are they using passive-aggressive emojis? And let’s not get started on voice recognition…

And what about autocorrect? Man, duck that!

Sometimes technology just torments us. It can be downright infuriating.  It has the potential to make us (and those around us) miserable, and even cause us physical harm.
