Okay, on to my real post for the day. Technology may outstrip our capabilities, but ingenious humans fight back.
This morning was my first time in bed with my new-old XP laptop, and I really enjoyed it. Here's what occurred to me, at top speed.
The interface between humanity and technology has reached
the point of no return. There are so many devices, functionalities, apps and
complexities that FAQs and learning curves cannot keep up no matter how hard
they try. Complaining about customer service has reached the level of shaking
fist at cloud.
We’ve come full circle: problems in the interface between humans
and technology can only be solved by surrounding the technology. A human takes
over my computer from halfway around the world and together we battle the
beast. Ha! Now I can boot up, access my app, attack my work and
emerge victorious. The human halfway around the world sharpens her spear and
goes on to the next dragon. I collapse, spent, knowing the next battle is
waiting for me when I least expect it.
