Despite these super-duper days when many of us are inspired to utter such statements as “Ain’t technology great?”, this writer retains his constitutional right to abhor one particular aspect. To put it more strongly, one thing we’ve learned to hate immensely since returning to U.S. shores following an extended offshore stay is placing a phone call, only to get some (expletive deleted) machine recording instead of an on-the-spot person.
Altogether too often, none of the button pushing options given out by the golden-voiced chick at yonder end seem to fit our particular needs. Having almost reached the exasperation point of no return by this time, we’ve become sorely tempted in future cases to tell the machine to perform an impossible act on itself and slam the phone down.
