Seriously I do!! I mean I see all these new gadgets and computer based things that look like they would make life so much simpler and easier for me, but they don't. I guess my life isn't that complicated that I need a state of the art gizmo to simplify it, but even the basic new wave crap seems to make me want to hang myself with a mouse cord. I recall when the internet was new and useful. Back in the early to mid nineties I could do anything on a computer. Email...no problem! Search engine.....cake! Save to a floppy....with my eyes closed! But now everything is CDR, CDRW, format type, burn, rip, usb port, mp 3 file, surf watch, adware, spyware, underwear........AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't handle it! My old computer was a piece of crap and wouldn't even turn on, much like most things I touch. So I bought a state of the art Dell last spring. Complete with CD and DVD burners that would make my life easier and more enjoyable.......Ahem! So here I am a year later and I have yet to burn anything. My computer is so bogged down with every kind of virus, worm, spam, and STD that it would make a Brazilian brothel look like a surgery ward. I don't get it. For the money I paid shouldn't I just be able to turn it on, click on internet and go somewhere without getting hit with 45 pop ups about wiener pills and bearded lady men??
This past weekend I bought my wife an MP3 player. I figured out that it's a little machine (about the size of a lighter) that can hold up to 60 songs. Apparently you have to down load, or up load, or blow a load, I don't know, songs from your computer into this device. Sounds like fun! Now I know it can be done because I see people using them and they look like they are enjoying themselves and appear that it has made their life easier some how....so why not me??? I'm simple, I know, but not that simple! I can program my VCR, I can operate heavy machinery....it's these damn light weight ones that are pissing me off!!!!!
So anyway, I hate technology and all the voice activated and cyber space bullshit that goes with it. I hate my cell phone, I hate my computer, and I hate my remote control with the 752 buttons that I don't use!!!

great website. forget the computer, go golfing on saturday, instead. maybe you can borrow my mp3 player
If you figured out how to create your own website, you arent too computer illiterate. And if you took the time to jot down your thoughts....from a keyboard and an internet connection, you cant hate technology too much.
perhaps you left the hospital, stopped at the bar, had too many brews, came home, wife went to bed so you had no other entertainment around besides the MP3 player, repeated ESPN news that you probably already watched 17 times this week, and the shiney new Dell. Hence...you opted for the internet.
Seriously...you were a big fan of the bitchy old men from the Muppet show, right?
