When do you get upset with technology?

I’ve discovered that I’m quick to move to tears when it gets personal.

No, I’m not talking about that pink plastic machine that lives in handy reach under my bed, the one once described as “disgusting” by a curious child.

Even when the batteries die I know Mr Electric isn’t doing it on purpose or in some fit of pique or is sulking because I didn’t put the cushions on his side of the bed on the floor…

Same with computers.  

They can be frustrating, I grant you, but they rarely turn me into a quivering wreck, tears streaming down my face, bottom lip (not to mention bottom) wobbling.

No, what really gets me is when the piece of software or technology appears to work for someone else but not for me – even when I’m doing EXACTLY the same thing.

What did you do??!!  I wailed.

I pressed destination, Groover it must be said somewhat smugly replied.

But that’s what I did!  It HATES me!

Being a girl, I turned to the instruction manual.  No answers.

It wasn’t until we hit a traffic snarl at Mandurah that I worked it out.

The GPS doesn’t let you input addresses while you are moving.

It’s not a bug, it’s a safety feature.

(and come to think of it… I did see some grey box flash up on the screen when I turned it on… but who reads those pesky boxes?)

It was somewhat galling to realise that not only was the machine working perfectly, it was even looking after my safety.

Which is more than I can say for Mr Electric!
