So True!
« on: June 19, 2006, 09:54:14 AM »
I came across this quote today and thought I would share this truism with you.


"Technology frightens me to death. It's designed by engineers to impress other engineers, and they always come with instruction booklets that are written by engineers for other engineers - which is why almost no technology ever works." - John Cleese


So True!

While it is true that manuals ( often porly translated) can frustrate, amd some devices are far more complex than they need to be. Technology does work, technology has been a great boon to humanity. And like any tool it can be misused and/ or abused. That is the fault of People not the technology. Every time you get on your computr your are employing a technology that is directly bennifiting you and the rest of humanity.
