Not on my watch

 

While wandering through technology I discovered several things about humans.  First off, the reason my coffee pot only spit out half a cup this morning isn’t due to some errant computer chip or poorly made circuit board, it is that hidden deep behind the wires and small dots of solder sits some pixelated suit who decided this coffee pot should only last two years.  Today’s failure is the residue of greed.

The closed-door meeting between the advertisers and the makers of the new 56 inch flat screen have found a way around the mute button.  So now we have a scrolling banner along the bottom of the screen, attempting to sell us mountain climbing trucks that no one needs, and should you purchase one of these new/improved vehicles that offer a freedom far beyond your cubicle, know that your every move will be tracked, logged and registered.  You’ll no longer be playing hooky my friend.
