"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has
exceeded our humanity."
Albert Einstein
Technology has become a necessary tool for our everyday lives. With the rise of social media tools and apps we fall to the mercy of technology one way or another. As technology rises so does the problems with it. With every advance it takes there's always seems to have a problem or bug that needs to be improve in the next version or update.
In the link above it talks about several pet peeves on certain technology. I can fully agree with most of the items listed above. One in particular is Captcha. Although I understand the use for it, I still do not like it. Seems to me that it does not really suppress hacking but rather slows down or just annoys users that forgot their password.
Credit Card Machines, QR codes, phone recognition are all annoyances that one must deal with if they want to further its uses. While the idea is a good one and its sole reason is to benefit others it still has that tick that makes it almost unbearable.
I understand the difficulty of machines, if Terminator, IRobot, The Matrix have taught me anything is that machines/technology can be a great asset to humanity but it can also a pain to deal with.
