People are getting more and more pissed at their Technology... *glares at the disk drives, around his house*

That is all.

I'm glad there are people in this world with even less...discretion...when it comes to how pissed off they get with their computers.

...glad, in a twisted sort of way. :/

Exactly... Guns are usually reserved, by humans, for other Living things... In a sick way.. this shows that we're starting to regard our Tech as living...

But...my computer is alive. It has lots of different voices too. Like Karen. And Yazzi.

And you! =^..^=

Unfortunately, at least half of people's anger at their technology is their sheer ignorance about it. ;p

No, you can't have fifteen programs start at startup and have the computer be fast.
No, you can't run a bunch of memory intensive programs at once and expect it not to crash.
No, those cute little downloads and lax security settings AREN'T a good idea. (most of the computers I see with software problems have them due to spyware - which are, half the time, due to file-sharing programs).
No, the computer will not maintain itself, anymore than it will read your mind.

(Hi, I work in tech support. Can you tell? *g*)

The other half is often quite justified - silly hardware design and general shoddy manufacturing is all too rampant.

Hah!

It was going to happen someday. I usually just threaten my compy with letting my Mom do all the upkeep.
