Love/hate relationship

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?
