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

  • Thanks for the advice, I did finally manage to track down the problem - Windows update. Seems on the install disk I have, it doesn't pick up updates, you have to install an update to windows update first, then set networking up.

    It is a bit faster to boot and power down, was still grinding to a halt, but that was down to windows update again. Seems to have settled itself down now.
