Is it only me, or is technology producing other psychopaths?

In the last two months I've purchased a couple of gadgets that have almost brought me to the brink of insanity.
I switch the mongrel things off, knowing full
well they're plotting further misery when I awake.
When I arrive at work, the IT guys have been working hard to improve my life. Two birthdays elapse (
mine) by the time I log on.
Tonight for example, the wireless keyboard told to me to get stuffed. No warning, no comment.....figure it out yourself you dumb b.....d!
Then we come to my three favourites:
1. Going back to the guy who sold you the product asking for a bit of help.
2. Ringing the Company help desk in Somalia.
3. And of course my favourite, Telstra.
I won't talk about navigation technology, because that would push me over the edge.
It's no wonder a man goes bush with his dog!
LOL
Regards
Kim

Well had it not been for the couple of people who responded before me to your post I would have said it was just you.
Nothing like that ever happens to me or to anyone I know. Honest it doesn't, not ever, not even on really really bad days. All the new technologies I have ever used have worked perfectly right from the start.
I have never had a supplier tell me it was my fault. The help desk in Somalia has always had the perfect solution to my problem (not that I have ever had one) right up front and I have no idea what you mean when you mention Telstra. One of the most progressive and helpful organisations on the planet I would say.

I've just stopped laughing and now in a condition to respond to your post.
I don't agree with anything you said, but I'm interested in your
bridge proposal.

Mr Bonz, If you require any IT assistance, please feel free to call on me any time and I will only be too pleased to take you to one side and offer you whatever assistance that I can provide.
It's a shame that it takes me longer to type this than tell you everything I know about electronic gadgets.
Maybe I can assist with some safe working proceedures or something.
cya in a few weeks.
