I’m curious (Another poll)
The promise of “tech” was that it was going to make life easier, humans more productive, and free of us from mundane tasks. I’m curious if anyone out there is experiencing a slightly different reality in these Modern Times.
Thank you.
I’d like to also take a moment, and remind you, Dear Reader, that one of the best “cures” (for the feelings listed above) is getting off your pity pot, and going out and performing what we’ve come to call “a random act of kindness” (I assure you, no matter how impoverished/lacking you feel, there’s someone nearby with less). And we all know that laughter is the best medicine, so turn off the Bad News Machine, and tune into some slapstick comedy — 3 Stooges, Marx Brothers, or Jerry Lewis, or Seinfeld, or sumsuch as that.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
