Technology

Don't get me wrong  
I am not anti-technology  
some technological advances  
are very useful and have been  
a blessing others not so much  
here are things about technology  
that drive me crazy:  
 
1. Self-flushing toilets  
these things seem to flush whenever
except when you need them to  
sometimes they start to flush when you
enter but not when u leave  
 
Oftentimes I wonder why these gadgets don't work  
for me -- maybe my forcefield does not mix with theirs...  
 
2. Sinks that have motion detector activation  
sensors to dispense water -- same issues as  
above-- water comes out randomly and rarely as  
long as you really need it  
 
I remember a time when there were levers we
could push ourselves -- now we at the mercy of constantly  
malfunctioning sensors.  
 
3. Hotel room keys that don't open the door because the  
sensitive sensor has been impaired by being next to a cell  
phone or something like that  
 
4. Touch pad technology that works randomly also  
 
All four of the above irritate me and I wish they would just let us pull a  
good old fashioned lever or use a simple key or make mini manual keyboards  
(That they actually offer now --the ipad mini has one that goes with it.  
Apparently I am in good company -- Jerry Seinfeld did a bid on his show about the faucets.  
 
Enough said -- I just had to get this off my chest.
