When technology doesn't quite work and is frustrating, remember that "technology is still amazing"

  
  
  
  

Technology TipsTechnology can be frustrating at times. And usually it decides to fail exactly at the time when we need it the most. At least this is our perception because this is when we really notice it (when it is working seamlessly in the background, we don't seem to stop or notice that it is working and doing amazing things).

Even on a daily basis when computers or networks slow down, or when services are not available for 10 or 15 minutes for one reason or another, we can get quite frustrated. I was frustrated recently when my Windows 7 system was slowing down a bit and showing some of the signs that got me to switch from Windows Vista-slow application loading and slow switching from application to application. I had to remind myself that I only had about 20 browsers open, another 20 or more documents of all kinds and some of them quite large, and I was connected to a dozen of services that are accessing a variety of databases. I had to remind myself that is quite amazing!
