Another example of how we exist to serve technology...

The stinking, lousy, fucking USB cable. Does there really have to be 11 different connectors? Couldn't two or three suffice?
To wit--my old, sweet, reliable BlueTooth headset finally started falling apart from being carted around in my pants pocket too often.
So I bought another one, much sturdier, tighter fit in my ear, won't fall out even when I'm on my bike.
But of course, it's USB-C and I can't find the cable that came with it. Even though I've got about 50 fucking USB cables in the house, none of them are USB-C. Of course.
My car has a manual transmission. I need both hands when I drive. If my wife or my kids needs to get me while I'm behind the wheel, I can't even answer the call without the headset.
Technology doesn't make us smarter, doesn't improve our personalities, doesn't make us less greedy or backstabbing or murderous. Doesn't put a steely Dirty Harry glint in our eyes.
It's sold as making life "better." Yeah, bullshit.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
