The Love-Hate Relationship with Modern Technology

2 min read

Today’s technology can be a real pain, right? You call a business and what do you get? A machine with prompts. And don’t even get me started on TV sets – you practically need a magnifying glass to find the right button on those remotes! And cars? It’s like you need a degree just to figure out all the gauges, controls, and push buttons. And let’s not even talk about online shopping – you order something, it arrives, and surprise! It doesn’t fit. Returns are such a hassle, it’s almost not worth it.

But hey, it’s not all bad. Remember the good ol’ days when you called a business and an actual person answered? Or when TV sets had just three channels and those funny rabbit ears? Life was simpler back then, right? The number of buttons and controls was manageable, and who could forget the joy of using a card catalog or waiting for snail mail?

Sure, today’s technology has its perks. Need information? Just hop on a computer, hit up a search engine, and boom – it’s right there at your fingertips. And email? Lightning fast communication, no doubt. Plus, let’s give credit where it’s due – air bags in cars are a game-changer for safety.

But let’s be real, who doesn’t sometimes long for the good old days when technology was less complicated? If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. There’s a whole bunch of us who miss the simplicity of yesteryear. So, here’s to the past and its easy-breezy tech. We miss you, old friend.
