A fine rant about technology for idiots
|
In the world of technological advances, there's a fine line between convenience
and utter ridiculousness. What is supposed to make our lives easier,
more streamlined, often leaves us in a place infinitely more frustrating
than where we began. (Remember the good old days of typewriters and rotary
phones?) Thus, we can all identify with Charlie Brooker's article, "My new mobile is lumbered with a bewildering array of unnecessary features aimed at idiots," which appeared in the Mar. 5 edition of the U.K.-based newspaper, the Guardian. Brookner's gut-splitting rant targets not only his cell phone, overloaded with useless technology that rarely works, and its maker, but also the crazy marketing schemes dreamed up by slap-happy, slobbering werewolves (read: mobile service providers — here Orange, a British conglomerate).
