Must Be Smarter Than The Machine
May 1st, 2008 . by ErinWe’ve all been there. It’s happened to all of us. There is nothing more embarrassing than being out smarted by a machine.
I was at the Red Box the other day when I saw someone having a most difficult time trying to rent a movie. I was trying to keep from laughing when the guy saw me. I was totally busted! I didn’t have the heart, more rather my pride wouldn’t let me tell him I was outsmarted by my iPod when I first got it. Leave it to my generation, the generation that was born on the cusp of technology. There are two groups of my generation. There’s the technologically impaired i.e. me, and the techno geeks who know and get everything about it. I’m rather jealous of them.
… it’s not easy being out-smarted by the techno stuff of the world.
I’m a cross between anti-techno crap, and really deep into it at the same time.
And we’re not even going to go into the self check out counters… the ones that give you directions and you can still mess up…
Hey Erin, don’t feel bad about the Ipod trouble. I gave my grandma one for Christmas 3 years ago and she really had a tough time with it. She caught on and so did you so give your “generation” some credit for adapting.
