Technology

I have a love/hate relationship with technology. It doesn't like me at all, and sometimes I really don't like it. It's useful, wonderful, helpful, but it is the most frusterating thing on the Earth. If your sink is broken you can grab a wrench and bang around for a while until it's fixed. Computers have no such luck. Unless you are willing to devote 4 or more years of your life to figuring out how they work, you are caught in a hopeless mess when your computer breaks down.

To my mind there is no possibly way that computers can work. To me electricity is moving electrons, courtesy of Chem 1210. There is no physical way that computers should exist. A tiny chip no bigger than a fingernail holding 10,000 pictures? How is that possible in my physical world? Of course you can see that my brain works only in concrete matters with things like nails, hammers, gears, wheels. Electricity, motherboards, mega bytes mean nothing to me. I plan on letting my husband take care of that for me. :)

But I am sincerely grateful for the 24 hour Staples help service and mumbling but patient operators. And I am most sincerely happy to have my computer back, even though he's missing some things.
