The horrible truth about misuse of technology....

We've all seen it, the world is getting smaller and smaller, we call it globalization to that effect. Yes people are getting lazy-ER, we've turned into creatures of convenience, and often times we don't even realize that we abuse the technology itself. Here are some prime examples, some of the things that really tick me off.

  • The bluetooth thingy....
    Yes, we all seen it coming don't we? Bluetooth technology, a year or two ago would only be used by the technology people and top notch CIO or CEO. Now I'm walking down the streets, I see bus driver had bluetooth on her ear, I see postal worker with bluetooth hanging out on his ear, I've seen old grandma's shopping with bluetooth on her ear. Not only it is not appropriate - (bluetooth uses are for handsfree purposes such as driving) but it's actually distracting you from your work to be done.


    What is it that makes the phone call so important, you couldn't take that little thing off your ear? I worked In I.T environment, and I don't wear one. Watching technology handicapped people using it is more hilarious than ever (it's like you're giving a torch to a blind person)....

  • The snapshots that turned evil.
    Yes each of us have a phone equipped with digital camera, but see that doesn't mean that every time we get a chance then we would snap-shot everything. I've seen my co-worker take pictures with her camera phone before she sign in to work this morning, and then right after that, she asked me how she can download it off the phone in order for her to be able to print the sucker out. Trust me, there are better things to do other than printing a VGA quality image from your shitty second class phones.


    Ooh... the horror .... watching pictures on VGA color resolution...

  • Getting online
    Now now, we know we need internet, we know we need to communicate via email about our newly found pimples and our scratch and sniffing ass habits. But these things should not affect us entirely, I've seen news about dudes in Korea that died after three days non-stop playing online game. Some of us have even taking it further by buying internet capable phones so that we can browse the web through that mini tiny screen, I mean how the hell are you going to browse the internet from that tiny little thing?? Isn't it just ridiculous?


    Damn ... look at the size of that thing...

  • The USB Stick trends
    This one is hilarious, I've seen people with USB stick hanging out between their neck like a necklace, I've seen ones with finger print reader, titanium alloy body (they say it's indestructible) or even cute ones with the owners personalized name or insignia (with gigantor size capacity 4-8 Gigabytes). But face it, why would you have USB stick out around your neck if it sole purpose is to save your Word documents and your family picture?

  • The not so Hi-Def Definition...
    Every time I go to electronic stores I've seen TV larger than a refrigerator, and everyone is condemned compelled to buy one. If you don't buy one you're not cool, you can't watch the sports in hi-def, you can't watch full action in hi-def. And you ask the guy that have hi-def, he doesn't even knows what hi-def is. All he knows is that he spend the bucks to fulfill his larger than life ego so that he can see his favorite NBA players plays in detail, including their sweats in detail. Please... whats wrong with regular TV anyways...


    I'll buy a hi-def when she goes naked in my hi-def TV.

  • The so called Cell Phone Revolution...
    We used it to call our friends, our family, anytime and anywhere we want to, while driving, while eating, while working, can someone spell "ethics"? And the worst you can expect is sharing the road with a frantic soccer mom, who is late to pick up her kids, driving erratically while SHE IS ON THE PHONE.

Here are just some of the annoyance technology brings us.. What's next?
