Digital stuff has been bugging me as long as I can remember.
But I’ve always felt ashamed to admit it.
Imagine my relief when I found a link on Twitter from Brandoholic about Steve Wozniak talking openly about his frustration with tech, and his hesitations about a tech-dominated society.
Here’s an excerpt from an article by Mark Millan on CNN.com:
Wozniak said the biggest obstacle with the growing prevalence of technology is that our personal devices are unreliable.
»Little things that work one day; they don’t work the next day,» he said enthusiastically, waving his hands. »I think it’s much harder today than ever before to basically know that something you have … is going to work tomorrow.«
Reciting an all-too-common living-room frustration, Wozniak told a story about the countless hours he spent trying to troubleshoot his media player, called Slingbox.
»There is no solution,« Wozniak said of tech troubles. »Everything has a computer in it nowadays; everything with a computer is going to fail. The solution is: kill the people who invented these things,« he said with a smile.
Thank God. I mean, thank Woz.
