Quick rant.
I love technology. I don't know where I would be without my computer, without the internet, without tv, without my mobile phone, etc, etc. I love technology.
But I hate technology when it doesn't work. And when it has to be so freaking complicated as to why it's not working.
For instance- what idiot made the clock gadget I have on this blog? It shows the wrong time for basically every place I have on there. I just had to readjust the Luanda time and the Michigan time- even though, I'm sure that at one point, they were right.
So, will someone tell me- is the time right for Latvia, the mountains, Medan and Melbourne?
Grrr... technology- I love you, but I hate you!
And for the record- I do remember a time before all this technology- even though I was born in the year that makes me a "digital native" according to some sources. But, I do remember knowing a whole lot of phone numbers- in fact, I still know a lot of phone numbers of people who live in the States (right, Ang?) that I dial only once or twice a year. But, yeah, it is easier to just have it in your cell phone isn't it?

The time is right for Latvia. I have no problem with my time gadget. Maybe halucinating from heat in december??? :)
yeah, and melbourne has always been correct when i've seen it.. :)
and, haha, everyone that voted thinks they are stylish already.. love it..
Hmm... maybe that is it... I figured it's not that they think they're stylish, it's that they just don't care. :)
The time for Medan is right.
MI is wrong - it's 4:25 here, so it should 5:25 in MI. :)
I don't know what is going on with Michigan- because I had to make a phone call to Michigan on Monday at 1:00 MI time- and I called according to the clock on this thing- and they told me I was calling an hour early! So then I changed it, and now I think it should be right, but I changed it on Monday, so if you're telling me NOW that it's wrong again- I just don't know.
Michigan time should be an hour later than it is as well as the mountains where your brothers are because right now it's 17:21 here in the Central (Chicago) time zone and your brothers are an hr behind me.
The mountains time is right but it took me a minute to figure out the silly 24 hour time.
I give up. Time is just a number. (like age?)
Uh, today the Latvia is off - because they are 3 hours behind me and yours says it is only two hours...
