Absolutely Hate Technology

Having a bad couple of days, in the middle of a week off work where things this past year or so have been really difficult. Started the week ok, and was able to relax a little. On Tuesday gave myself 2 tasks on my neverending to do list, first one was to sort out my pc and install a new ssd drive to speed it up as it is nearly grinding to a halt. Have been almost constantly working on that till now 18 hours with no success. 

Just problem after problem, searching for solutions online gets nowhere. Just such a massive wate of time. I don't understand why companies make the technology so complicated and difficult. I just can't seem to take myself away from it, and let it beat me.

I have full time job as a web developer, but technology these days just really gets to me. Things are so much more capable these days, but I just can't stand who in their right mind would design things like they are.

Have only recenlty got a smart phone, and a sat nav, similar problems with those. Tried to update sat nav, but new maps exceed space available.

Yet another thing which has consumed so much time, I just don't have enough to sort out all this rubbish

  • My pet hate are telephones. I hate having to talk on the phone. Only thing worse than having to sit here at home and answer the phone, is mobiles. I believe it's something like 96% of the uk population have one, but i went as long as i could without joining. In the end i felt as if i was almost forced into getting a mobile. These days if you want to do anything they ask for mobile number ............. opening a bank a/c  ......  buying things ....... shopping onlibe ...... making a doctor or hospital appointment.......  the list could go on and on. When i use to say i've only a landline most of the time nothing can be done. I krrp my mobile only for emergencies, i wont give the number out  in case someone phoned me while i was sitting on a bus or in the supermarket shopping. I tell people they don't need it, they have my home number, whatever they want can wait until i'm in the comfort of my own home.
