Unnecessary Technology

Technology is a great thing. It has developed us as a world and has made so many things, which we once thought were impossible, possible. However along with technology comes something, which I like to call “unnecessary technology”

Unnecessary technology is confusing and flat out annoying. Why in the world do we need a car which doesn’t require you to put a key in the hole? Is it really such a nuisance to take the key in your hand and turn it?

Do we really need a cell phone/camera/internet/shaver/wipe your ass for you handheld device? All these technological unlimited options may be nice for the technologically advanced man. But I’m old fashioned (I still use disposable cameras and take notes in a notebook) and I hate unnecessary, superfluous, customizing options, which comes along with our technology. These options are confusing me and require me to use a lot of mental energy just to figure out how to use it. While the intention of this technology is to simplify our lives, its actually doing to opposite. I don’t need a phone with 20,000 buttons on it. I just want a simple phone that works, although I’m not sure if they make those anymore. Were not robots people, so lets stop acting like them.
