Me vs Technology

This is a battle that has been going on for a loooong time. It pretty much starts when I turn on my laptop. It usually starts making really weird noises and I just hope it doesn’t explode. After I survived those 2 anxious minutes the next problem presents itself. How to open 10 different programs without lagging? Well my laptop can’t do that. It can handle word and Internet, but as soon as I open something else it just freezes. This is usually the point where I get really frustrated so I just close my laptop and ignore it for the rest of the day (or until I have something reaaally important to do). Good thing I have an iPod and phone with internet.

Lets try to watch some tv. I turn on the tv and as soon as I try to change the channels it goes wrong. I hear some sort of ‘tsshkkhh’ and the screen just goes black. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I guess my presence is just not doing anything with electricity in it any good.

Then it’s dinnertime. My parents are gone so its time for me to be a big girl and make my own food. I make my way to the freezer and find a pizza, which is a good thing cause I can’t cook. The endless struggle to turn on the oven starts now, we have a very high-tech 3 in 1 oven thingy and its really confusing. So after a couple of minutes of frowning and wondering how the hell this thing works I turn the oven on. After about 5 minutes I smell something  weird and smoke starts coming out of the oven. Quickly I turn it off ( thank god I actually know how to do that) and I cautiously open it. My pizza turned into a soft squishy mess. Apparently I can’t even make a pizza, but no one saw what was going on here so I’m just gonna pretend nothing happened. No one will ever know about this. But then, a couple of days later, I have friends coming over for dinner. Someone brings bread and yes, that has to go in the oven. I pretend like I have it all under control, the bread is peacefully sitting in the oven and everything seems to be going quite well. Yes. 3 minutes later someone asks me what that horrible smell is. The bread is totally black, inside and out. I cant even bake bread. Try to explain that to your friends.. lets just say I’m a little clumsy.

Technology is obviously winning this fight and I think it might be better for me to stay in bed from now on, I don’t want people to get hurt.
