Fuck Technology

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Today was much like any other day for me in terms of the regular activities I take part in. Today was actually a good day when I woke up. Today was many things for me.

One of the first things on the agenda was laundry. Pretty fucking simple thing to do, right? Unfortunately my piece of shit water lines stop working in extreme cold temperatures. Now, the great thing is that this doesn’t happen to ALL of them. Fuck no, instead it only takes out my washing machine. I decided to let the piece of shit try running for a bit as I cranked up all the heaters to see if the miracle of running water would soon grace my washer, so I kicked back and fired up a movie. I store all my digital media on a network file server loaded with hard disks. Turns out every disk I own is slowly dying. I discovered this as my movie continuously paused and skipped in a very annoying manner, accompanied by noises that no hard disk should be making. For the record, I keep a gun on my desk and become very easily frustrated by stupid bullshit. In an effort to avoid shooting a hole in my LCD TV, I grabbed my laundry and went to my parents’ house. As I waited for the machine to finish, I figured I would enjoy some digital cable. As this was early afternoon on a weekday there were very few enjoyable programs for someone as awesome as myself, and so I selected the only worthwhile channel and prepared to relax. Five minutes later the picture disappears and the sound starts coming out garbled. This continued the entire duration of the wash cycle. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE FUCKING RAGE?

How is it we have come to depend so deeply on this fucking shit, but in this day and age technology is still seemingly plagued by pathetic quality? How hard is it to BUILD SHIT THAT FUCKING WORKS? I would continue my rant further but I just happened to notice how much memory Firefox is sucking down after being open for a week and I’m about to murder the next person I see.
