I’m becoming far more crotchety when it comes to tech of late. I realize that this is probably something that comes with getting older and more crotchety, but pay attention! You kids… I tell you.
I’d like to shoot the person who thought everything required a touch screen in their pinky toe… with a low velocity pellet. I just ordered a camera that has all of its controls buried in a touch screen interface. Dear God, why? What’s wrong with buttons? I loathe the fact that every time I want to skip a track on my Slacker app I need to set aside about 30 seconds of my time. Power up the screen, unlock the screen, tap the Slacker app, wait for it to load up, wait for it to get responsive, tap the next track button. Bleugh! Give me a button!
The same attitude goes for 3D. Why did we need another “D”? 2 of them were doing just fine delivering the same shit over and over again. It’s not like having one more D improves the image quality or makes colors more vibrant like the jump from Standard Def to HD.
Is this what it feels like to get old and hate things? I don’t like it.
