Have you ever had an experience when technology was bad for you?
like a gadget got you in trouble, did something for you that was not suppose to happen, or else?
Yes, and those experiences often seem to come at the worst possible times. One in particular is when I was getting setup to do a presentation and I couldn't get the projector to work properly with my computer. That can be rough!
I work in finance and it always seems that my systems crash at the worst possible time. I once had an entire department drop from the system. Basically, my financial statements simply didn't show those expenses. Not good when you are responsible for financial reporting.
I personnally think there is something fundamentally unatural about technology, and yet, I cannot stop to use it! It is very addictive.
