God, computers are some of the most useful inventions out there. And they've only gotten better. The Dell Inspiron laptop I'm using to type this? Better than my family's desktop Dell. Infinitely so. And smaller. And, probably cheaper, too. Technology is so useful! You can do practically anything on the internet!!! Even if you're not connected, you can store many large BINDERS of stuff without taking up any physical room. Nice, huh?

You'd think.

But you'd have though wrong.

Technology is evil. It's great if you know how to use it, but how many people TRULY know how to use technology? Zip. I would willingly bet that Bill Gates has a Mac somewhere in his house because he hates using Windows. Why? Because it's a pain. It's like Microsoft purposely told your computer to have an error every few hours, or crash if you've been on for so long. But my computer doesn't do that, so it's okay. It just loses its connection to the internet at the most obnoxious times. Like, say, when I started this, and it gave out before I could publish it damnit! I still don't know why it does it. I already deleted one program that Windows claimed was the problem. Apparently it wasn't.

And now, as I'm at my parents' house, I am trying to help install more memory into my sister's computer. We have the memory, we asked a guy at Office Depot about why it might not possibly be working, and bam. We're still being screwed. And this guy knew what he was talking about. We managed to get my sister internet access, but more memory is out of the question. Hold on.

Just got back from helping my sister again. We hope we've figured it out. But that's all we can do; hope. Why? Because. Technology is the devil. It looks nice, but it'll come around and bite you so hard you'll snap in half. Usually I can handle it though. I'm the most laid back in my family, and everyone else just get's too pissed to think, and further complicates the problem. I at least don't make the problem worse, but my family thinks they have the answer and they scoot me away to wreak further havoc on the problem at hand.

And then there's the little problem of our family computer. THAT thing is on its deathbed. If it's not dead yet, it's coughing up blood on its will. When it has problems, you should just restart it immediately. But then you have to wait an hour before you can use it again.

Another nice thing about technology, is it grows all the time. ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Right when I bought a new iPod, a new version came out. RIGHT THEN. No matter how hard you try, you can NEVER BE TECHNOLOGICALLY UP TO DATE. It's just impossible, with all of the neccessary updates you need to install. Hell, sometimes the updates are more trouble than they're worth (cough *Microsoft* cough).

And throughout it all, Bill Gates just sits up on his multi-billion dollar company that just screws us over, playing with his Mac. About the only good thing I can think about Gates is the XBox 360. And I'll give him credit, this computer runs pretty damn smooth. Most of the time. But I can still hate him right?
