11 Confessions Of A Technologically Impaired Person

We all know that one person who cringes from the name of software up gradation. That person cried a river when smart phones took over the market. This person still keeps a Nokia ‘button’ phone as a memory to be cherished. This is the person who Googles “My computer has descended into darkness and I am having a breakdown”.

Have a look at this poor person’s little frustrations and share his/her pain.

1. I am usually nervous around high tech gadgets that I have never used before

Anxiety levels and fumbling talent rises when they are handed a gadget. These poor souls usually hold their phones so tightly that they might be the ones responsible for the Iphone ‘bend-gate’!

 

2. I don’t trust myself while buying a new laptop or a phone or anything that runs on electricity

Over time, they have lost confidence in themselves. The salesman treats them with a vicious smile as they enter the showroom.

 

3. I take a tech geek with me when I go to the shop for a new gadget. And only their approval matters

But thanks to repeated mistakes, they now take an experienced friend who does all the homework for them before they enter the electronics shop.

 

4. My judgment for gadgets is limited only to their looks

They often get ridiculed for saying “Oh but that phone is so pretty!” and usually get preached like “Looks are deceiving. See what’s inside!” Well, I have no idea about that.

 

5. I hate it when a technological discussion starts in my group

They often feel when their friends talk about new software and upgrades if they are genuinely interested or simply showing off their crammed knowledge.

 

6. I miss the era of good old keypad phones

You usually see them making typos and cursing while typing. Auto correct is their sworn enemy. They claim to be texting faster on the old alpha-numeric keypads.

 

7. When something goes wrong with my gadget, I keep an emergency friend’s number for help. That friend hates me

They get long phone bills because they need to be taught about ‘how to boot up the computer.”

 

8. I hate it even more when 5 minutes later, it happens again

And just when you thought that your computer is running again, it crashes right into oblivion along with your phone bill.

 

9. I hate it when my date asks about my smartphone

They avoid topics related to anything even remotely associated with ‘rooting phone’ or ‘installing new OS’; especially when trying to make an impression.

 

10. I go into full panic mode when my laptop shows the blue screen of death

Oh yes, the blue screen. You have seen them moving away from their laptop to a safe distance because who knows, it might just explode.

 

11. Hate them or love them but I just can’t live without my gadgets

These innocent souls were the last ones to switch to smartphones because let’s face it, technology is convenient and SMS on New Year is expensive. Also, they write such articles on a laptop.
