There is no question that we live in an age of amazing technology. All around us are all manner of fully computerized electronics, all designed to make modern life as simple and convenient as possible. With social media keeping us all connected in ways that no one could ever have before dreamed of, most would agree that technology is here to stay as a part of our day to day lives. What is less widely acknowledged is that all of that technology should provoke only one rational response - Absolute, crippling terror. For a certain subset of people living today (We'll refer to them as 'The Rational Ones') all of this technology is not only bewildering, it's also a source of active, constant anxiety. Sure, many people are content to go about their daily lives freely interfacing with the technology around them, cheerfully understanding how things work, and contentedly knowing how to use that technology to its best advantage to improve their quality of life. For those others the only solace is knowing that they'll have the final laugh when the Terminators come and they're finally able to say, 'I told you so'. Here then are the harbingers of that day... 20 problems that can only really be understood by people who are absolutely, completely rubbish with technology.
