I just need a thingy. If I buy this thingy, it will solve
all of my issues and make me more productive. It will help me to achieve all my
goals and more. I can incorporate everything into this thingy. I will only have
to go into my thingy to control all the other thingy’s. In addition, it will make all my other
thingy’s work better for me.
This thingy will give me more time to do the things I really
want to do. Spend more time with my loved ones. Heck, I could write a novel. I
will have so much free time on my hands, I might get bored.
It will reduce paperwork. I will have a more organized desk.
If someone wants information, I will be able to pull it up in a moments flash.
So, you want the electric bill from Oct 1999. Here you go.
I asked the sales person. “Will I be able to get ahold of Tec
support at any time, day or night”? “Will I be able to get ahold of a live
person right away, or will I have to go through a touch tone menu?” There have
been times where I have found myself yelling at a non-real person that keeps repeating back to me, “I
am sorry I do not understand.”
I told the sales person “I have also at times
e-mailed Tec support with my problem.” Because I did not want to have to yell into the phone. This problem is something I needed to be solved now, and getting my
e-mail back in two days. Followed by another e-mail asking me how the service I
received was. Sometimes, I got the how was the service I received before the
maybe answer.
“You can go on our web site and look for answers also,” the
sales person told me. “We have a great
menu for FAQ’s and they are very helpful. ‘He continued.
“How much is this thingy going to cost me?” I asked.
“We have a low price of $$$ just for today” he said
“Is there a contract with this?” I asked, “If I decide that
I want to cancel will there be a penalty for this.”
I think by now you know where I am going with this. Yes,
technology is wonderful and there are many good products out there to make our
lives better. Unfortunately, we need to
keep purchasing more of the technology to keep up with just having the
technology.
Upgrades and security downloads bog things down. That little circle just sits there and spins.
I restart sometimes just to get things to work right. This really interferes with my Zen
and flow.
What comes with your initial package is incompatible with
existing thingy’s. You have to purchase
plugins, additional cost for synchronizing everything up. You spend hours searching
FAQ’s. You print out instructions to try
to solve it yourself. This is because you know it is going to cost you money to
call Tec support.
Then again, if I got that thingy, I would not have this
problem??????????
