Ok, so I’m
reading this “12 Annoying Technologies”, and I agree with some of these items.
I can deal with a lot of them, but there are a few things here that have peeved
me a bit over the years.
First is “Phone
Voice Recognition”. Out of everything on this list, this one is the one that
infuriates me the most. At first, it sounds like an awesome idea, that is,
until you try it. Now, if you talk fast or mumble or something that makes your
speech unclear, I can understand if your phone has trouble coming up with what
you said (it’s your own fault), but if you repeat yourself once or twice and it
still doesn’t understand, then hang up your phone and never try it again; it’s
not worth your time.
Next thing
on the list that caught my attention was “Fax Machines”. WHO USES FAX MACHINES
ANYMORE!? To be honest, I work in an office supply store, where we can send and
receive faxes at a special copy center in the store. Surprisingly, a lot of
people use them. Even worse is the fact that one out of one hundred people
actually know how to use them. And if that one person knows how to use it,
chances are it’s not gonna work due to a “PC Load Letter” error, or something
of that nature. You wanna know my opinion of fax machines? This:
On one
note, I would like to point out that “touchless bathrooms” should not be on
this list. Those saw-blade hand dryers are cool.
Lastly, QR
codes make no sense to me. When I first heard about one, I thought, “Ok, you
take a picture of it, and it magically links you online to a specific site?
Sounds plausible.” No, that has never happened for me once. You can’t just
forget about those things. I’d say it’s a scam, but you’re not losing out on
anything, so all I can really say is that the dude who came up with the idea
was probably high on paint chips.
