I've been around since before the technology boom that started in the 80s. People have become poorly mannered and isolated. Technology, especially the internet, causes a tremendous amount of stress. It also has us to the point where we can't tolerate being bored anymore, which, believe it or not, is actually good for our minds. I could go on, but what's the point? The only feedback I'll get is a click on an emoji or a reply from a stranger who uses a handle, rather than their name.

If there was a problem back in the days people had to use their brain to solve it but now all you have to do is go on the internet and you don't even have to type it in if you tap on the mic.

Why are we still paying so much for WIFI? Better yet, why are we paying for WIFI at all??? It's literally in the air, there's no reason to pay for it. And while we're at it, for as much as we are paying for it why the f**k doesn't it work right all the time? Horrible.

The fact that even though it promises to save you time, we are getting more and more sucked into it, to a point where we do almost everything on them.

... and then you have no time to do real things because you are busy with your "time-saving" things.

But if you type on a computer, it's faster than just writing it down, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it's more legible.

There are a few things like the rise in scammers, online bullying, the spread of misinformation and fake news and also the fact that it is constantly changing. So once I finally learn how to do something, it changes so I have to learn it all over again. And that is one of the reasons I am a bit of a technophobe.

YEP. I really get this one. In work we have a certain computer system (reports....) and like your self just as I get used to it they change it for security reasons.

I actually got ad blocker because of Bored Panda. I ALWAYS kept getting pop ups saying I won from google and even if I didn’t click on the pop up it would automatically direct me to a different page. I would have to close the page and then open Bored Panda up again but it just kept happening.

Same. I got ad block for BP when audio started playing on ads. I was told that had stopped and since it kept begging me, I recently disabled adblock, only to put it back on 20m later when obnoxious popups began floating over text.

The most annoying thing about technology is that I've become a product, and that my behavior and interests have become more interesting to companies than my privacy (and therefore my freedom), to companies that make billions by trying to trick me into sharing things that I don't want to share. And that I now have to jump through all kinds of hoops to make sure that I stay anonymous, or at least share only that which I want to share. And that people keep encouraging these companies by continuing to use these so-called 'free' services and these so-called 'social' media.

I hate spam messages and junk mail. Everyone always wants something from you.

Many say things through the phone or PC that they would never say in real life if they were standing right in front of you. So I guess the most annoying thing for me is that technology makes bullying and being mean to people much easier.

I don’t like tech that much, and can avoiding reading something on my phone for a day or two. What I don’t care is thatt everyone around me is using tech like phones in real life situations when they should be living that moment with their eyes, ears, mouth and brain. Restaurant tables get lonely when with those people. Watching tv gets lonely when the other person is using tech the while time.

Everything is password for this password for that. I have so many passwords that I get confused. I even have a password to use the company printer! Spellcheck - Before I got into computers (for work) my spelling was brilliant but since I had to start using them my spelling has got very poor as it is auto corrected. But I must say it is good for research and communication.

You scrimp. You make a chicken breast last for 3 meals. You insist the cats eat the supermarkets own brand moggie foods. Eventually, you’ve saved enough to get the latest iPhone. Then two weeks later they launch a newer version. Only joking. It’s actually realising that technology is way more smarter than I am and smarter than I’ll ever be.

When people say they feel like their partner is having an affair with a mobile phone, I get it. I used to watch films with my wife. Now I watch a film and she reads angry rants between strangers about some political issue all the way over in America that she's not really bothered about. Same couch, worlds apart.

Essentially semantics, but I hate when computers say there’s an error and a program has to close. The computer then asks you if it “ok”. I realize what’s meant is “acknowledge”, but no it isn’t ok.

Lack of privacy. I've joined no social media, have done nothing that should lead to my information being online, and yet, there it is. Online.

1) The fact that it gets better and faster.... but not always cheaper 2) I miss the days of purchasing and downloading software like Adobe CS that you can run locally. Everything is converting to cloud-based services these days with annual subscription fees
