I Kinda Hate Everything About Tech

The only thing it’s disrupting is the user experience

I’m in a foul mood today.

It could be because my phone alarm decided not to go off, and I slept in. It may be because my computer chose violence, taking an age to load anything before crashing on me completely. It might have been that when trying to jump into my first video call meeting of the day, my headphones wouldn’t connect to my laptop. It might have been that when I was at the gym, my Spotify algorithm apparently took drugs and forgot who am I because the recommendations were terrible. It was just one of those days when technology did everything but work as it should.

The day had me feeling like Ron Swanson — and it was still only 11 am.

I’ve since spent too long contemplating how everything tech-related around us has turned to shit, and my mood has only worsened.

Just think of the current state of play in tech at the moment.
