Rampant and fast technological change is like runaway monetary inflation. Nothing is really wrong with hyperinflation if wages and prices adjust in real time, the problem is they don't and they can't due to an overly chaotic environment.
Just like with unchecked technology. Does anyone here want an environment of hyperinflation in the economy?

I'm pretty sure that cabin is available now. You could go live there. Not much technology from what I heard, but a genius used to live there.
Due to some health issues, I've taken a 3 year sabbatical from tech work. I looked forward to exploring what exciting offline opportunities may have been looming just over the digital horizon, having misspent my youth in front of one screen after another. I looked into several possibilities, tried a few things, even worked on a farm for a bit and got my hands dirty (I mean covered in blisters).
After this little excursion into the romantic notion of an uncomplicated, offline existence, I came away with mainly one newly grounded perspective: making money on computers is so much fucking easier. For me. It's just not even close.
So I'm back, full of newly forged enthusiasm for the wonderfully convoluted cluster fuck of technology that shits out porn, easy women, and money on its way to some uncertain and probably horrible catastrophe out in the distance.

That list of 12 successful people who shun technology is a bunch of old fucks, so ye that's why they don't really use technology. I know where your coming from as I refused to get a smartphone for a while for no apparent reason but then eventually got an iPhone 5. The technology is like a mushroom trip, don't resist! It is a force that is beyond us, almost like an alien intelligence coming through in the form of technology. You can't fight it or deny it or you'll be left in the dust.
The biggest perspective you gained from 3 years without tech work is that making a few thousand dollars on a computer is easier than making a few thousand dollars FARMING?
Well, I didn't think enumerating every offline avenue I explored where online won out would be very interesting -- I only mentioned the farming anecdote for emphasis.
For example, I could have mentioned that being a has-been AM guru is easier than farming, but I think most people are already hip to that.

No wonder you're having trouble updating.
Windows XP support has ended - Microsoft Windows

So today I spilled half a cup of coffee on the table where I set my laptop. A small portion of coffee touches a portion of laptop. So now in addition to half the keys on the keyboard not working, I can't even open the damn thing to air it out. Even after a trip to home depot to buy a specialized screwdriver, not even after googling for half an hour on "how to open a laptop". Naturally, my sony vaio isn't covered in the search results.
If the damn things are designed to be placed on flat surfaces, why not make them more liquid-resistant?
Oh that's right, it's the fucking technology industry we're talking about, where the quality control is *WORSE* than the illegal drug trade.
Only the US federal government exploits its consumers more than the technology industry does theirs.

This you bro?

Unless the consumers get a clue and revolt en masse, the shit's only going to get worse. And then the reaction time will be inexorably slow due to the inherent solipsism that autistic tech genes provide.
So here's the lesson - the problem isn't me, it isn't you, it isn't the user. IT'S THE FUCKING TECHNOLOGY ITSELF.
But oh wait! It's progress! You're bitching on a platform that *gasp* uses technology!
Lolz. If other facets of mechanized technology operated the same way, such as cars or airplanes, guess what? WE'D ALL BE FUCKING DEAD RIGHT NOW.
So don't be afraid to bitch about the shit that pisses you off, don't slag the people who bitch, and most of all don't be afraid to tell a geek to stop giving their customers constant and steaming piles of bullshit.
Fuck Silicon Valley. Fuck them driving up the SF rents. Fuck them driving the M-F bay area ratio completely out of whack. And fuck them for making technology a net detriment instead of a benefit.
