What annoys you most about new technology, compared with good olde ye technologye?
- Watching TV.
In Ye Goode Olde days (patented by Englande) you could ram anything into the aerial in socket, latch onto the tiniest bit of analogue signal and get a watchable picture and sound. Nowadays with digital signal and internet streaming it is literally all or nothing. You don't get a good signal/ internet connection and your watching a blank screen or a buffering message. Sucks.
- Phone batteries.
Used to be it would run out and you would wait a while and you could usually manage to get it back on with enough juice to fire off a text message. Today, you run out of battery and it is a brick.
What else do you think is worse with current technology compared with the old?
