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.
