Always in a rush, never in a hurry:
A mantra, a motto, a meme, a shared life hack or another bad tattoo that onr sentence sums up society. We rush through every day to accomplish nearly nothing. A never-ending stream of data flow between environments polluted with smart technology that isn't smart at all. Machines fail, A.I. fails and people fail in contrast to nature that only really fails when modern living intrudes and the video goes viral on social media platforms. Let me not speak of unproductive business trends of leaving the workload to the machines and the A.I. while people meet in Teams for virtual high-five sessions of praising their accomplishments and productivity, burn me at the stake for such herecy. People want more from technology and less from each other, and they're so damn pushy about it. Instant is too slow for them so they immediately complain. Well you just can't have it all. Machines break, software crashes, networks go offline and you nagging the technical support trained to fix your technological failures won't encourage them and it won't get things working any faster. Assume you know absolute nothing about the device you're using to read this post then accept it will eventually fail. Technology will fail, I believe in the inevitable failure of technology as reflected in my cynical criticism and it bares repeating from daily experience of fixing the mechanical junk that keeps the world turning today so a race of thankless muppets can complain about it tomorrow. Presently we have the killswitch, best leave it in the capable hands of your friendly neighborhood service technician for the day will come when your apps won't open, Siri won't respond, you're off the Teams. It's a dismal day to comprehend lest we are prepared or life might end instantly.
