Our first vcr had a chord on it for the little remote.
Big time. Almost have to enroll in a college course just to learn how to use TV and remote functions of a new set.All the technology and convenience is overrated. I wish I had a tv that actually had buttons on it
OMGF! Don't get me started. The amount of effing time I've spent adapting to technological changes of all kinds, personally and professionally, is enough to make me want to go back to chalkboards and file cabinets. I keep hearing how our technological advancements are going to make our lives easier, more convenient, less stressful. I'm spending an enormous amount of time now adjusting to some new tech systems at my school when the benefits of it are going to be miniscule to me at very best, if that. The other night I spent a lot of frustrating time trying to get my sound bar to interface with my TV, reading manuals, watching videos, etc, etc...and I still can't get it to interface.Big time.

This is before you even get into things like the fact that we've become an incredibly intrusive surveillance society, to the point where it's become almost pointless to fight it, or, if you do, the amount of time and effort it takes to make yourself less so is such a pain in the arse that you want to say the hell with it for the most part.

We must take matters into our own handsBlue Jays screw us.
