Technology

Technology is a filthy whore.

No, I mean literally. Sure, it's good for what you want. And if you don't know what you're missing, it'll do just fine. However, think about your favorite fruits of technology.

*The Ipod. I love my iPod, but that doesn't stop it from breaking once a month.

*My Coffeemaker. You know I love my coffeemaker, and those of you who have seen it know that it is high-class (and red!). It can set the temperature of my coffee, the strength, it can brew at a certain time, it beeps when it's done brewing, it beeps when the heater shuts off, and it does a little dance when I'm sad. It even tells me, pictorially, how fresh the current coffee is. HOWEVER, it does not clean itself. I couldn't care less about what temperature my coffee is when it brews (since 90% of the time I forget that I've even poured the cup until it's cold anyways), but I hate to clean it. Actually, last time I really had to clean my coffee maker I bought a new one (the current one).

*This blog. Check out the picture. I did spellcheck on my last post, and it flagged "blog".

I think the person we need to blame is Thomas Vedison (the inventor of the television), obviously.

I second blaming Thomas Vedison.
